Description:
Seventeen performances by some of the many pop and rock acts who appeared on Ed Sullivan's variety show during its heyday are on display in this, the second of the Ed Sullivan's Rock 'n' Roll Classics boxed set's nine discs. "Chart Toppers, Volume 2" is somewhat short on star power; Smith, Oliver, Spanky and Our Gang, and the Brooklyn Bridge aren't exactly household names, then or now. But there are some interesting oddities here as well, such as the Beach Boys appearing without Brian Wilson for "Do It Again" and Karen Carpenter playing drums on the exquisite "We've Only Just Begun." As is the case elsewhere in the boxed set, some songs appear to have been edited for length, and the frequent lip-syncing (or singing live to prerecorded tracks) is a drag. But what may be the weakest disc of the box still packs enough appeal to make it worth checking out. --Sam Graham
