Album Description The raw, early ?60s sound of the Pacific Northwest has caught the fancy of many a reissue label lately. But there remains one important Pacific Northwest band without a CD collection to its name?the Frantics! Led by guitarist Ron Petersen, the Frantics played hundreds of dances in the region from 1957 to 1963, backed Bobby Darin on 'Dream Lover' and released 13 sides and three hits on the Dolton label (also home to the Ventures), all of which we?ve collected here along with *13 unreleased tracks* for a total of 26 songs, their COMPLETE recordings for the Dolton label! The band has graciously lent us photos and memorabilia for the package, too?if you?re a fan of that throbbing guitar ?n? sax Seattle sound, you CANNOT miss this one! Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsI love the NW Band "The Frantics" because......... S. D. McGee | Duvall, WA USA | 06/15/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "I knew all of them personally. The sax player, Bob Hosko, was my big brother. He has passed, but his spirit lives on with many northwesteners. The Frantics were more than just musicians. They were great entertainers! Their NW beat kept them six nights a week at Dave's Fifth Avenue, located across from the Seattle Center during the World's Fair for over two years. They frequented Parkers and many northwest hot spots. The played backup for Bobby Darin. Later on my brother played back up for Chuck Berry in another band. This CD is a true tribute to the NW music history. Great music to dance or reminisce to." Northwest Rock Pioneers Paul Heaven | 04/26/2008 (4 out of 5 stars) "The Frantics were certainly not the most famous of Northwest Rock acts in the early sixties, but they demonstrate what gave the region its style: a mostly instrumental mixture of rock with elements of rhythm and blues and a touch of jazz influence. The Frantics were among the more conservative of the groups in that they could and did play in the older market as well as the teen dance clubs that were popular at the time. That focus results in several cuts that have not aged well. This compilation is a worthwhile addition for someone already interested in Northwest Rock. For the uninitiated, a much better introduction might be "The Viceroys at Granny's Pad.""
