{|Johnny Get Angry|} was one of the great teen {|pop|} hits and the biggest for {|Joannie Sommers|}, but most of her recordings were in more of a mature vein -- {|pop|} in the old-fashioned sense. This straight CD reissue of her 1962 album has a mixture of both styles. The title track and {|Since Randy Moved Away|} sit alongside {|(Theme From) A Summer Place|} and {|A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square,|} giving listeners a look at both sides of {|Sommers|}. Her minor hit version of {|One Boy|} from {|Bye Bye Birdie|} is also included among the dozen tracks here. With a playing time just under a half-hour, {|Johnny Get Angry|} could have been presented as a two-fer or with bonus tracks, but fans will be glad to finally have a legitimate reissue of her original album. ~ Greg Adams Less
