Buyer's Guide to the original members Music

THE REAL DEAL

Listen to any of these 5 albums/CDs and "that special sound" will become clear.
These are the guys who founded a unique harmony, and they did it with ease.
They truly enjoyed what they did. Every note they sung had to be just right.

If anybody performing today claims to be an original founding member of The Vogues®
(with the exception of Chuck Blasko), that is a false claim.

Watch out for phrases like "We recorded this back in 1965". Please ask "We who?"

UNENDORSED RELEASES

This picture is from an album cover that showed up circa 1995. If you want to hear the originals, don't buy this one.
This one is especially frustrating because it has pictures of the original members, but most of the songs are re-recorded by a different group. There are two tracks by the original members, which makes it even more questionable.

Summary: some of the media collections actually contain a few original
songs mixed with "new" reproduced songs. Others are simply nothing but
re-recordings. If you want true original music, purchase the media as
listed in the "real deal" examples above. Also verify the songs using
the discography compiled by original member Hugh Geyer himself.
