The Four Seasons
were really hitting a creative sweet spot when the tracks on this LP were broadcast via music TV shows such as
Popendipity
,
Hullabaloo
, and the
Mike Douglas Show
. The
Sandy Linzer/Denny Randell
songwriting/production team crafted stomping, four-to-the-floor Motown-style productions on the hits "Let's Hang On" and "Working My Way Back To You" with the legendary
Buddy Salzman
creating the distinctive drum sound. Later in 1966,
Bob Gaudio
came up with an arrangement of
Cole Porter
's "I've Got You Under My Skin" that made the song sound just like a Four Seasons track with its killer hook coda "Never win, never win" added at the insistence of producer
Bob Crewe
.
Frankie Valli
began his solo recording career by insisting that his composers provide material that did not require him to use falsetto and his first release was the Bob Crewe/
Charlie Calello
composition "(You're Gonna) Hurt Yourself." "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" was Valli's first number one, despite Philips having mothballed the finished record for almost a year because they feared it might break the group up. Here are two live versions of Frankie's Christmas 1967 single "To Give," both with full orchestral backing. For a live broadcast on NBC's
Kraft Music Hall
show in July 1968, the Four Seasons previewed "Saturday's Father," a track to be released on the 1969 psychedelic concept album
Genuine Imitation Life Gazette
. This LP also includes as a bonus track a hits medley from a 1971 transmission from BBC's
Top Of The Pops
.
