Our Take

ARPTONES Harptones Collection 1953-61 Review:

Ah, the ARPTONES Harptones Collection – a delightful journey into the harmonious world of doo-wop. This compilation takes us back to a simpler time, when sweet harmonies and catchy melodies ruled the airwaves.

From the smooth crooning on "A Sunday Kind of Love" to the upbeat rhythms of "Life is but a Dream", the ARPTONES Harptones Collection is a treasure trove of classic tunes that will transport you straight to the sock hop of yesteryear.

The vocal performances are top-notch, with the harmonies blending seamlessly together like a perfectly mixed cocktail. Each member of the group shines in their own right, but it's when they come together that the magic truly happens.

The production may be a bit lo-fi by today's standards, but it only adds to the charm of the record. It feels like you're sitting in a smoky jazz club, listening to the ARPTONES Harptones serenade you with their timeless tunes.

Overall, the ARPTONES Harptones Collection is a must-have for any fan of doo-wop music. It's a snapshot of a bygone era, when music was simple, sweet, and oh so satisfying. So put on your dancing shoes, dim the lights, and let the ARPTONES Harptones take you on a nostalgic trip back in time. Cheers!
