 Topic: "Can’t Take My Eyes..." - Frankie ValliPosted: 08 June 2009 at 11:44pm |

While trying to determine which CD in my collection contains the best sounding master of Frankie Valli's "Can't Take My Eyes off You", I notice the song contains reverb on the Greatest Hits Volume 2 CD (Rhino 70595), yet sounds "dry" on the In Season - The Frankie Valli & the 4 Seasons Anthology (Rhino 74266) compilation.
Would someone who has "Can't Take My Eyes off You" on commercial 45 and/or on Valli's parent 1967 vinyl LP Solo be so kind to report if the song is "dry" or contains the reverb? |

It sounds like a little "extra" stereo reverb is on on Greatest Hits Volume 2" CD, all other CD sources I have contain some mono reverb on Frankie's voice, including Anthology, which seems to match the mono single.
I don't know what matches the original LP or stereo DJ 45.(I have a stereo DJ 45 for "I Make A Fool Of Myself" so there may be one for "Can't Take My Eyes Off You") |

I don't know if there was a stereo promo for CTMEOY. Mine is a yellow (not white) label version of the commercial single. |

Thanks for checking into your other CD sources, Bill. It's interesting you mention there's additional stereo reverb on the Greatest Hits Volume 2 disc, yet all database CD appearances of "Can't Take My Eyes off You" are also in stereo. So I wonder why Rhino elected to add the extra reverb on the Greatest Hits Volume 2 CD, unless of course this is reflective of the original LP mix or a stereo DJ 45 (if one exists)?

It always seemed to me that Greatest Hits Volume 2 (and volume 1) used different sources than other CDs. It was as if Rhino just used the masters that were used to create the Time Life 1962-1967 Four Seasons release.

So it's very possible then that the extra reverb may also appear on some or all of the song's Time-Life CD entries.
Speaking of which, is there currently an database listing for the Time-Life 4 Seasons 1962-1967 release Bill references? |

The 4 Seasons 1962-1967 cd has been in the database for years. The song "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" is not included on this cd (at least on my copy).
