The Best of the Girl Groups


''The Best of the Girl Groups'' is a 2-volume compilation series released by Rhino Records in 1990. The collection, compiling 36 of the better known tracks by girl groups of the 1960s, shares spot #422 in
''Rolling Stone Magazine's'' list of "Greatest Albums of All Time".〔(The Best of the Girl Groups: Volumes 1 and 2 ) Rolling Stone Magazine online. (November 1, 2003). Accessed November 1, 2007.〕 Music journalist Robert Christgau includes the compilation in his "core collection" for an essential rock library of music preceding 1980.〔Christgau, Robert. (1990) (Rock library before 1980 ) Excerpted from ''Christgau's Record Guide: The '80s''. Christgau official website. Accessed November 1, 2007.〕 ''Entertainment Weekly'' described the first volume as "a veritable catalog of the era's romantic attitudes".〔(Recordings at a glance ) EW.com. (September 28, 1990). Accessed November 1, 2007.〕
''The New York Times'' recommends both volumes, in conjunction with Rhino's ''Girl Group Greats'', for listeners seeking "the biggest girl-group hits".〔Staff. (November 25, 2005). (The good, the rare and the nostalgic in boxed sets ) ''The New York Times''. Accessed November 1, 2007.〕

The compilation collects a broad range of the era's well-known hits, featuring seven #1 hit singles and an additional 14 top ten hits among its 36 tracks, but it includes lesser-known material as well, enough—according to AllMusic—to "keep the collection interesting for more serious fans of girl group pop". The collection includes two representative tracks of Ellie Greenwich, a prolific charting songwriter whose own material both solo and with The Raindrops was often overlooked. The included solo single "You Don't Know" was described by journalist Alan Betrock in his book ''Girl Groups: The Story of a Sound'' as "the kind of record that not only transcends and expands the boundaries that come to mind when someone says, 'Girl-group record,' but...also can stand alone, totally unique and unmatched by any other competition".〔 "I Can't Let Go", a 1965 song by Evie Sands which did not chart, was critically described as "superb" though the song failed to capture popular interest until covered by The Hollies a year later. "The One You Can't Have" is one of several "outstanding" singles by popular backing vocalists The Honeys that failed to achieve commercial success. Cher's brush with the girl group genre is also represented, by the 1965 "Dream Baby", a "girl group classic" if not a charting single.
