New Haven Doo Wop collects 20 tracks from the New Haven doo wop scene in the '50s as part of Collectables' series highlighting region-specific groups. (The other discs in the series focus on California, Philadelphia, the Bronx, and Brooklyn, and there are two volumes of Manhattan Doo Wop.) While not all of these tracks are of the best quality, Collectables has done a wonderful job cleaning them up via remastering and even more impressive work digging up these gems, which range from very well-known (the Five Satins' "In the Still of the Night") to utterly obscure (Nicky & the Nobles) groups, all hailing from New Haven, CT. These sets are wonderful for collectors of doo wop who wish to compare trends in the music from different areas around the U.S., and equally enjoyable for listeners looking to dive into the riches of nostalgia. ~ Gregory McIntosh
