Shangri-Las Shangri-Las 65 on Vinyl LP Along with the Shirelles and the Ronettes, the Shangri-Las were among the greatest girl groups; if judged solely on the basis of attitude, they were the greatest of them all. They combined an innocent adolescent charm with more than a hint of darkness, singing about dead bikers, teenage runaways, and doomed love affairs as well as ebullient high-school crushes. These could be delivered with either infectious, handclapping harmonies or melodramatic, almost operatic recitatives. Tying it all together in the studio was George 'Shadow' Morton, a mad genius of a producer who may have been second in eccentric imagination only to Phil Spector in the mid-'60s. Shangri-Las 65 was the group's first album, originally released on Mike Stoller's Red Bird label. |
