Capitol Collectors Series: The Four Preps

This was a replacement for the exact same CD I used to have (I was just waiting for a decent price), so I already know how good it is. The Capitol sound quality is light years better than a couple of so called imports that I reluctantly purchased. All of the hits are there, including some great live performances (More Money for you and Me) among them.

The volume of the Capitol set did not match that of other Four Preps CDs. In addition, the final song "Draft Dodger Rag sounds like an ALTERNATE take, and I HATE those!.

Not one of the better rock & roll groups to come out of the 50's genre but they did have a few songs that still are good listening. I count 26 Miles, Big Man, Down by the Station and More Money for You and Me in that group. A lot of their stuff reflects an influence by groups such as the Four Aces, Four Lads & Lettermen that I don't hold in high regard but for those who cater to those groups this disc is good for you..

The entire Capitol collectors series is incredible! This re-license by Coolectablesis exact replica of Capitol product [oop]. The Four Preps couldn't sound betterthan this! Great selection of hits, first time stereo on some songs. Furmanek,dug deep to find first generation tapes for entire series. Couldn't ask for more!Except rumor that twenty-six miles was recorded on two or three track and justmixed down. Real good buy for all their remarkable hits

Enjoyed the CD and the quality was good. Just don't remember over half the songs on the CD. Must be getting old.. You did a "Good Job".

Here's a fasinating range of pop tunes by a very talented group performing a wide range of styles --- if you grew up during the 50s and 60s you'll certainly remember a number of these tunes --- they were a great harmony team... lots of teen era tunes here... brings back memories of the sock hops of that time.

These guys span an overlooked era in pop-rock history.They go from doo-wap to the British invasion to the Vietnam draft era.Tremendous harmonies combined with great arrangements are agood listen for anyone. They do great impressions of their rival vocal groups also.

Went to Catalina and enjoyed myself had to get the album with 24 miles on it....enjoyed the cd.....

The Preps are a group I remember from my youth, their harmonies are maybe not as tight as the Freshmen or the Aces but they are more vibrant and fun. This is a first class album full of good songs and some fun novelty numbers. Well worth the purchase.

Never heard of this group before till one of my close friends told me. No regrets buying it cos the music's really great.

Collector`s Series: sehr empfehlenswert! Eigentlich war der Grund des Kaufesder Titel "A letter to the Beatles", es sind aber nauch noch etliche tolle Titel aufdieser CD!
