If you have already come to this spot to see this review, you do not need for me to tell you about the Bear Family reissue LP and CD box sets of various classic artists. Like many previous Bear Family sets, this set on Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers is the ultimate for the collector, along with an excellent book. Trying to track down all of Lymon's recordings up to his tragic demise is almost impossible (the closest was Murray Hill's 5 LP set from the mid-80s), yet Bear Family does it with one package. If you are interested in Lymon's tragic story (later part of a PBS special and movie) and love classic rock/doo wop music and early rock'n'roll history with all it's manipulation of early pop artists, this set is a must. It is all here-from the Teenagers w/Lymon, the Teenagers solo, and Frankie Lymon solo up to 1968! Enjoy the completeness, the book and it's wonderful text and pictures, and most importantly, the classic music from a performer that influenced many and was sucked in and spit out by the music industry in classic fashion.Read full review
