This 1962 Seasonal Records release predates the group's signature falsetto sound and the string of hits that would define their career. The inclusion of "doom metal" in the genre is notable, as it's incongruous with the group's typical output.
- The album was released on June 4, 1962, by the independent label Seasonal Records. It was released as a 12-inch LP. The primary genre listed is pop, with a secondary, unusual listing of doom metal.
- This release has not achieved significant chart success or critical acclaim compared to the group's later work. It features songs like "And Too Soon" and "A-Side / B-Side".
- The 4 Seasons would go on to achieve massive success with hits like "Sherry" and "Big Girls Don't Cry" in the following year. This album showcases a different, less polished sound.
The 4 Seasons were a vocal group from Newark, New Jersey, known for their falsetto harmonies. At the time of this release, they were transitioning from their earlier doo-wop sound to the pop music that would make them famous.
