ALBUM

RCA Records, Neil Sedaka's label of the 1950s and ‘60s, here takes advantage of his comeback in the ‘70s to assemble a compilation consisting largely of B-side singles and stray tracks from the vault with the intention of passing it off as a new album. (The photographs adorning the front cover appear to present him in the ‘70s, although the back cover acknowledges that these are old recordings.) The album does feature a few of Sedaka's singles chart entries of the ‘60s, including the Top 40 hit "Bad Girl" from 1963 as well as "The Answer to My Prayer" and "The World Through a Tear." But the rest is a batch of forgotten material, including "No Vacancy," the B-side of Sedaka's first single, "The Diary," from 1956. It would be easy for a fan to buy this album assuming it's a new Sedaka album from 1978 instead of the grab bag of old rarities it is, and that's deceptive, even if some of the songs aren't bad.
