Frankie Avalon, Annette Funicello - Frankie Avalon/Annette Funicello

The exception to the rule.

Usually, K-Tel's collections are a disappointment since they are almost always re-recorded versions of the original hits. This series, issued on CD and cassette, contained 10 original hits (5 each back-to-back on the cassettes) by Artists related either via musical genre or historically associated with each other and it has long been out of print.

This cassette contains the original Disneyland/Vista versions of Annette's 5 Highest charting singles:

1. "Tall Paul" (#7)
2. "First name Initial" (#20)
3. "O Dio Mio" (English Language hit single version - #10)
4. "Train of Love" (LP version - #36)
5. "Pineapple Princess" - (Mono single version - #10)

The other 5 tracks are by Frankie Avalon and, they too, are the original Chancellor Recordings.

This is an inexpensive way to add these oldies to your collection.
