Bobby Vee - Come Back When You Grow Up (1967) [+ Meets The Ventures - 1963]

Most of you will know Bobby Vee (born as Robert Thomas Velline 1943 in Fargo/North Dakota) as a Buddy Holly wannabe but on "Come Back When You Grow Up" he went new ways. This record is a fine amalgalm of pop/sunshine/soft rock often heavily orchestrated. I'm sure that Curt Boettcher/Mystic Males ect. lovers will find a lot here. And the great "Get The Message" was also recorded by Sagittarius (although it remained unreleased by them). This CD (Collectables COL-CO-2776 / 2000) contains also earlier material from 1963, released back then as "Bobby Vee Meets The Ventures". A good record as well but more in a beat-rockin' vein.
