EXTD= June 27, 2000 \n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: 25 All-Time Greatest Bubble
EXTD=gum Hits is subtitled "The Ultimate Collection," and it's hard to
EXTD= argue with that claim. It certainly qualifies as the most compre
EXTD=hensive collection on a single disc. The set is an overview of th
EXTD=e entire bubblegum movement from the mid-'60s until its nominativ
EXTD=e demise in the early '70s. It includes most of the key tracks fr
EXTD=om the Kasenetz & Katz hit factory, such as "Indian Giver," "Yumm
EXTD=y Yummy Yummy," and the sublime "Quick Joey Small." Flesh-and-blo
EXTD=od TV idols such as the Monkees and Bobby Sherman are represented
EXTD= alongside their cartoon-and-costume counterparts: the Archies, J
EXTD=osie & the Pussycats, and the Banana Splits. Rounding out the col
EXTD=lection are British classics of the genre such as "My Baby Loves 
EXTD=Lovin'," "Smile a Little Smile for Me," and "Love Grows Where My 
EXTD=Rosemary Goes." This set is a primer on the manufacture of teenyb
EXTD=opper singles in the era of Top 40 radio. It's infectious fun fro
EXTD=m start to finish, and it may dawn on the listener that this musi
EXTD=c's influence reverberates to this very day.  -- Mary Grady\n\n\n

EXTD= 2005 \nBy  maninov4u (Hong Kong)\n\nThis is one of the bubblegum
EXTD= music compilation presently available in the market which includ

EXTD= I bought yesterday. Bookended by the two signature blasts of bub
EXTD=blegum nirvana, "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy" by Ohio Express, and "Sugar
EXTD=, Sugar" by the Archies, this is a fun starter set for listeners 
EXTD=looking to wade into the bubblegum pool. Plenty of junky pop thri
EXTD=lls abound, with plenty of lascivious lyrics to boot. My own part
EXTD=icular highlights are "The Grooviest Girl In The World", by the F
EXTD=un and Games, with its squealing Tex-Mex organ and chest-puffing 
EXTD=bravado, ("...and I'm a guy with impeccable tas-tah!!!"), Barry B
EXTD=lue's mind-boggling fusion of glam and bubblegum, "Dancin' (On A 
EXTD=Saturday Night)", and Josie and the Pussycats breath-taking "Ever
EXTD=y Beat Of My Heart", which starts out like Dionne Warwick, only t
EXTD=o end up in Dusty in Memphis territory. Other tracks worth checki
EXTD=ng out are the bubble-gospel of Robin McNamara's "Lay A Lovin' On
EXTD= Me", and "Wait Till Tomorrow" by the Banana Splits, which sounds
EXTD= like it belongs on Nuggets. Also worth checking out is "Bubblegu

EXTD=ER REVIEW\nEnjoy your Bubblegum Proudly, December 3, 2002 \nBy  A
EXTD=manda "doceo336" (Yuma, AZ United States)\n\nAccording to Dave Ba
EXTD=rry's Book of Bad Songs, the Bubblegum genre got its name because
EXTD= people used to stick wads of bubblegum in their ears in order to
EXTD= keep from hearing it. While Bubblegum is lightweight stuff, espe
EXTD=cially compared to today's music scene full of Eminem, Korn, and 
EXTD=other hard-edged favorites, in its day Bubblegum was popular and 
EXTD=refreshing. It is a welcome throwback for some listeners who want
EXTD= to relive those good old innocent days and escape the pessemisti
EXTD=c, depressing music one so often hears on the pop stations.\n"Yum
EXTD=my Yummy Yummy," by Ohio Express, rated by Dave Barry's bad song 
EXTD=contest as the second worst song ever written, has a bouncy rhyth
EXTD=m, and while the lyrics are corny, it has its charm. The classic 
EXTD="Love Grows" was recently featured in the Jack Black movie "Shall
EXTD=ow Hal," giving it some air of coolness to today's listeners. "I'
EXTD=m a Believer" was recently remade by Smashmouth for the movie "Sh
EXTD=rek." \n\nThis CD gives a good overview of the Bubblegum genre, a
EXTD=nd a great reminder of how everything old becomes new again. \n\n

EXTD=r 5, 2002 \nBy  "simnia" (snowy bayou country, USA)\n\nFor this t
EXTD=ype of music, this is a good album. Whether simply enjoying catch
EXTD=y tunes that were aimed at young adolescents, or doing a serious 
EXTD=analysis of how to write a hit song, this collection has good val
EXTD=ue due to its large number of songs that are in the same genre. E
EXTD=specially nice are the short-lived and now hard-to-find songs tha

EXTD=MER REVIEW\nThe Sweet Sounds of Bubblegum, January 27, 2001 \nBy 
EXTD= Steve Vrana (Aurora, NE)\n\nDuring the late-Sixties and early-Se
EXTD=venties, there was an explosion of popular music dubbed bubblegum
EXTD= music. Sweet, frothy music with little substance, but catchy as 
EXTD=heck. This collection gathers some of the best known along with a
EXTD= number of obscurities. Nine of these singles sold over a million
EXTD= copies each, including "Easy Come, Easy go" by Bobby Sherman, "S
EXTD=mile a Little Smile for Me" by The Flying Machine, "Jam Up and Je
EXTD=lly Tight" by Tommy Roe and "Indian Giver" by The 1910 Fruitgum C
EXTD=o. At least sixteen of these songs cracked the Top 40, many of th
EXTD=em going Top Ten.\nAnother truism for many of these acts was that
EXTD= they existed only on paper. Groups like The Archies, The Banana 
EXTD=Splits, and Josie & The Pussycats were cartoon characters. Some g
EXTD=roups were merely studio creations that released singles (and som
EXTD=etimes albums), but did not tour because they didn't really exist
EXTD= outside the studio. So you had situations where Ron Dante was th
EXTD=e lead vocalist for the Archies' No. 1 hit "Sugar, Sugar" and was
EXTD= also the lead singer for The Cuff Links' "Tracy." Joey Levine sa
EXTD=ng lead for the Ohio Express on the million-seller "Yummy, Yummy,
EXTD= Yummy" and also sang lead on the Kasenetz-Katz Singing Orchestra
EXTD='s "Quick Joey Small." [Levine also did backing vocals as part of
EXTD= Crazy Elephant on "Gimme Gimme Good Lovin'."] "My Baby Loves Lov
EXTD=in'" by White Plains and "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" by
EXTD= Edison Lighthouse both featured the lead singing of Tony Burrows
EXTD=. Even The Monkees didn't exist as a real group for much of their
EXTD= career in that on many of their hits--including the No. 1 gold r
EXTD=ecord "I'm a Believer"--the only Monkee involved in the recording
EXTD= was the lead singer; in this case it was Mickey Dolenz.\n\nBut q
EXTD=uite frankly, no one cared who sang or played on what record. The
EXTD=se were uptempo songs with great hooks, and they were fun to list
EXTD=en to--even thirty years later. The only really glaring omission 
EXTD=is there is nothing by The Partridge Family or The Osmonds. But t
EXTD=his is a minor complaint for an otherwise wonderful and generous 
EXTD=collection. RECOMMENDED \n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nGood Ea
EXTD=r Candy, August 14, 2000 \nBy  T. C Lane (Marina, CA USA)\nThis i
EXTD=s a noble attempt to narrow Bubblegum's vast field to just 25 son

EXTD=ruitgum Co. that are missing and for those check out RCA's Bubble
EXTD=gum Hit Pack ...only 3 songs here are repeated out of that one's 
EXTD=10 tracks. But you can't go wrong with this as a starter for your
EXTD= Bubblegum needs. "Sugar Sugar", "Yummy Yummy Yummy", and "I'm A 
EXTD=Believer" among the 25 are prime Bubblegum, and great singles, al
EXTD=so. It would be nice if the label would venture in to the Teen Id
EXTD=ols of the 70's like the Osmonds' "One Bad Apple" or Shaun Cassid
EXTD=y's "Hey Deanie". But that's what a second volume could bring. Go
