No Sheets,
By george tuthill (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
What ever happened to the song "Three Sheets to the Wind" ?It was a hit around 1959. It's probably the hardest song that they recorded to find anyhere

Classic Sound Of The Time,
By AvidOldiesCollector (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
Samuel Johnson wrote "Every man has a right to utter what he thinks truth, and every other man has a right to knock him down for it. Martyrdom is the test." The reviewer who gave this CD only one star must be a real martyr.All I can say is, if The Four Aces are as bad as he describes them, then there must have been a worldwide epidemic of tin-ears among the millions upon millions who bought their records, and listened to their songs on radio, to the point where they chalked up 36 Top 100 hits from 1951 to 1959. You also have to think that the reviewer must have a personal grudge against Peter Grendysa, who wrote some of the most comprehensive liner notes [seven pages of them] you'll ever find in a single-disc CD package. Add to that several nice photographs - one with the luscious Mamie Van Doren - and a complete discography of the contents, and you have a nice, neat package which gives you sixteen of those hits, along with two flip-sides [You Brought Me Love which backed Perfidia in 1952, and I Understand which was the B-side of I'm Yours that same year]. Another nine of their 36 hit singles can be found on More Greatest Hits. If I have a gripe it's from the perspective of a completist collector of hits. Neither this CD nor More Greatest Hits contains Two Little Kisses, one of two releases by the Palda Record Company [on their Flash label] which made it to # 29 in 1952, the other being Sin which was their first hit [# 4] in 1951 on Palda's Victoria label. If you know and loved The Four Aces you won't be turned away by the negativity in that other review. If you don't know them, this is one of the best examples of old-time,street-corner harmony you're apt to hear. But it. Enjoy it.

This review is from: Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
Being a fan of 1950s pop, especially the vocal-group variety, I expected to like this collection. The Four Aces, after all, are one of the big names from the period, and there were any number of superb white quartets who recorded at the same time--The Crew Cuts, The Diamonds, The Four Lads, etc. But this material is terrible. The group is nearly unable to harmonize, and the four singers often sound like a barely-in-key duet with a third (and, every once in a while, a fourth) voice peeking in. Al Albert's lead vocals are frequently off-key and consistently overwrought. And the earliest "arrangements" have less body than something one might hear on an inexpensive synthesizer's songbank. The reissued sound is great, and a few of the numbers are enjoyably bouncy, but I wish I'd saved my money. I can forgive good singers nearly anything, but these guys were anything but. Four-go this painfully ace-erbic collection.
