Our Take

Ah, The Platters - Complete A & B Sides 1953-1962, where do we even begin? This compilation is a delightful blast from the past, serving up all the iconic hits from one of the most legendary groups of the 1950s and 1960s.

The Platters have always been known for their smooth harmonies and timeless ballads, and this collection is a true testament to their talent. From the swooning vocals of "Only You" to the toe-tapping beats of "The Great Pretender," every track on this album is a gem.

Listening to this compilation feels like taking a trip down memory lane, back to a time when doo-wop ruled the airwaves and music was all about heart and soul. The production may be a bit dated by today's standards, but that only adds to the charm of this album.

Each track is a showcase of the incredible vocal range of The Platters, with lead singer Tony Williams taking centre stage and stealing the show with his silky smooth voice. The chemistry between the group members is palpable, and it's clear that they were truly meant to sing together.

Overall, The Platters - Complete A & B Sides 1953-1962 is a must-have for any fan of classic doo-wop and R&B. So grab your favourite retro cocktail, put on your best dancing shoes, and get ready to be transported back in time with this fantastic collection of hits. Cheers to The Platters for blessing us with timeless music that will never go out of style.
