The Four Seasons "Bermuda" b/w "Spanish Lace"

[kirko1954]

Great "curio". This used to show up on Various Artists albums (like on the Lost Night or Roulette labels). A "throwaway", it was usually the last (or next to the last) cut on the album.

[1985OldSkool]

Wow! Until now, I hadn't heard either of those two songs since at least 1966 or '67, or maybe '68 at the latest. Thank you very much for posting them.

I had this 45 picked it up for almost nothing but didn't even realize at the time that it was THE FOUR SEASONS! This was back in the mid 60s I don't even know if I still have it I have boxes of 45s packed away oh well

Wow1 I never thought I would ever hear this song again. Thank you.

I heard this on a "Best of" album or I would never have heard of it. Thanks for posting this lost classic!

[sfratpack]

@Elric33239 I agree, these are two of Frankie's finest. May I also recommend "The Proud One"? Thanks for your comment, my friend!

@sfratpack Now THAT's taste..."The Proud One" is a totally (and criminally) overlooked side...though, just like both sides of this one I loved it the first time I heard it...thanks for putting this one up...

[wolfmantip]

Wow...I had this on a early 4 Seasons album, not VJ or Philips,some obscure lable. Haven't heard since 1965. Thanks.

[sfratpack]

@wolfmantip You are very welcome, my friend. In the 60's I had both of these songs on various artists albums but they were edited versions. I am pleased to have the full length mono versions now. Have a great day!

[73MarkIV]

@wolfmantip -Same here- and the version I heard was edited down to about two minutes!

[ASite4u2c]

Love "Bermuda". Never hear it anywhere.

I thought "Spanish Lace" would be the same version as Gene McDaniel's tune. Surprised this is a different song.

Thanks so much for the Post, plus the Information you provided us in the Dropdown menu. It's well written.

@ASite4u2c Fans of the original Jersey Boys who are willing to leave the beaten path in search of treasure will find what I call "Valli's Peaks," the best of the Four Seasons. Among those lost gems are these Gone sides. Thank you for your kind comments, my friend!

[pinktaco646]

i love this version thank u so very much

[sfratpack]

Both songs should be included in any serious discussion of the Seasons' best. Thanks for your comment!

[PJDooWop]

Rare record. I haven't come across a copy yet

[sfratpack]

You're right, this is a rare 45. They'e all Gone! I bought my copy about 8 years ago at a price of nearly $50. Thanks for your comment!

[spacepatrolman]

@sfratpack It wasnt a hit next sherry was a number one hit and the rest as they say is history

[sparkescadman]

These are great!

Thanks, SPC

[sfratpack]

You have just discovered Valli's peaks!  I'm glad you like them as much as I do! Thanks for your comment!
