ALBUM REVIEW

THE ORIOLES - FOR COLLECTORS ONLY -
(Collectables 3 CD set # COL8801)

A worthwhile package from Collectables released in 1992. Comprehensive coverage of the work of the Orioles on the Jubilee label - 60 tracks on 3 CDs at a reasonable price. The notes by Marv Goldberg make this better than average Collectables fare.

If this package isn't enough of the Orioles on Jubilee for you, we recommend The Orioles - The Jubilee Recordings, a 6 CD package put out by Bear Family.
