Good souvenir ! - I love this album because it was my first record, (vynil 45 rpm, Sugar, sugar) bought when I was a child. Now I m happy for having the CD as good souvenir from my favourite TV series, The Archies.
archies missing the best - I love the archies...it was one of the oldie cd s my husband and I listened to when we were dating. Already considered an oldie by then...but we loved it.So far, none of the cd s here have one of their best songs: circle of blue. Any idea why?
9 more tracks on Sugar Sugar - Anybody into bubblegum needs the Archies, but nobody needs more than one compilation, so it s either this one or Repertoire s Sugar, SugarSugar Sugar has all the tracks from Absolutely except the 1-minute cartoon theme song (which you can download from iTunes).Plus Sugar Sugar has an additional 9 songs not on Absolutely.Only catch: Sugar Sugar costs 30% more, but you get 50% more music.The question now is how much do you want that theme tune, and how much do you want to spend?Hmm...dilemma
Music They Don t Make Anymore - I received this as a birthday gift last year. I knew a few of The Archies songs on the disc (Sugan, Sugar, Bang-Shang-A-Lang, Truck Driver & Jingle Jangle) so I popped it in and listened. I loved it. It just made me think they don t make music like this anymore. Happy sounding, upbeat kinda music much like the Bubble Gum Music Era of the 1960 s with bands like The Ohio Express & 1910 Fruitgum Co. This disc was great. Not a bad tune on it. If you like music of this era I would highly recommend it. It s about 40 minutes of pure listening pleasure.
I never get tired of this - I remember liking the Archies at a very young age and my older brothers making fun of Bubblegum. Hey, I liked some heavy metal at times but it feels good to be old enough not to care what others think when it comes to ALL the music I enjoy! Enya? Yes! Bodeans? Darn Right! John Denver? well, sometimes. But this Archies CD is soooooo groovy, and makes me feel ALRIGHT, all over. Every song is fun. I don t remember the cartoon show, but who cares. If you like Sugar Sugar, you ll like the rest. But did anybody else hear that Reggie got into trouble? Here s hoping he can turn his life around and clean up, maybe somebody will offer him his own radio show.
