Frankie Valli & 4 seasons, was this ever released in the US..

No, not on a 45.

Unless Manship has one up for Auction on the 29th.....    

No, just on UK 45.

No, just on UK 45.

 

or spanish, french, german, whatever 45. Probably everywhere around the world except US of A.

not the same song, but the flip of Billy Preston - 'The Girls got it' on Capitol has a track called 'The Night' thats really good if I remember...

 

check it out..

Actually, it's the only Frankie Valli 45 I like, and I really love it.

 

Beggin' doesn't do much for me, I'm afraid.  The market must have dropped to the floor on Beggin'.  I sold two copies a year or 2 ago for almost $100 each, but the last copy I sold only brought $10.

Cheers.

It made the top 20 in the states.. Why someone would pay 100 dollars for beggin is beyond me

I wonder if Frankie valli came out in Oz? never seen one...

 HI ALL  In 1976 I was a member of the lighting crew working on the Kool & the Gang, F.B.I UK tour, It was on that tour I learnt many interesting facts about the band, and who they knew, like Ed Kiser and they loved the music that I had on tape including "burning sensation" it was on a gig to the free trade hall Manchester that the stage roadie, a guy called Donald ?, he was the voice on the open sesames!. about th e MOTOWN AUDITION DISCS, 12" PLATTER WITH 4 to 6 instrumental trax, that were given to group & solo artist to preform at auditions, he told me that MOTOWN kept a file with every instrumental of every song, I have no reason to doubt his word or his knowledge, this would mean that the "NIGHT" EXISISTS SOMEWHERE  DAVE K

Really?  They made some of the greatest pop music of the 60's, I love more or less everything of theirs I've ever heard, from Sherry, Big Girls Don't Cry and Rag Doll to I'm Gonna Change

 HI ALL....I LIKE IT I LIKE IT, WELL DONE PETE.   All the 4 Seasons stuff & many of the SURF music especially the Beach Boys became hits because of the SOUL CLUBS of the day the TWISTED WHEEL CLUB,& the SOHO CLUBS including the Pink Flamingo & the TILES CLUB played this sort of music mixed in with R&B SOUL & UK group R&B STYLE,

I remember my brother coming home from the TILES after seeing JIMI HENDRIX, also he loved 8 96.8 KEITH, which was a huge MOD RECORD.  What was that 4 Seasons garage type instrumental that got played at BLETSOE, it was on a red label???  DAVE K

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned this yet, in my humble opinion the next best they did to 'The Night'.
Think it did get plays too back in the day, probably the Mecca?

Yeah, Pete, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons had a lot of hits, but it just doesn't do much for me.  To each their own..
