I wouldn't start with the 'Gee Baby Gee' comp, then...
there's tons of other comps that would be a better place
to start.  -Bryan T.

We just had a thread about what a good starter kit for the Girl Group genre 
would be, I suggested this old TV album called SUPER GIRLS with 1980 leather 
jacket and motorcylce models on the covers, real Olivia Newton John-goes-New 
Wave looking but the three record set on the inside is pretty definitive.  Rhino 
did a pretty good Girl Group series on LP, not sure if that's transferred to a 
CD release.  The best thing, really, is to nab a copy of PRESENTING THE 
FABULOUS RONETTES or both albums by the Shangri La's and work your way out from 
there.  The Cookies, solo records by their singer Earl Jean, and THE LOCCOMOTION 
album by Little Eva are all pretty great too because that may be some of the 
best Goffin/King stuff.  I wrote the liners to a CD called DIMENSION DOLLS that 
should be out by now on Sundazed that covers a lot of that Goffin/King 
ground, actually.
