Bobby Darin
Highlight (10-inch vinyl)
Review by Gary Hill
This classy 10-inch vinyl record from Bear Family is a reissue of a 1961 Japanese record from Bobby Darin. That said, each side has two songs added from the original track list (the final two songs of the side). Bobby Darin's sound is more on the pop side (at least for the time) than some of the more "dangerous" rock and rollers. The songs here include a few classic hits. The music tends to move between jazz, crooner, contemporary pop and rock and roll zones. The package itself includes a postcard, and the record is printed on green vinyl.
