On Campus – THE FOUR PREPS***

Opening/Heart & Soul/Mr Blue-Alley Oop-Smoke Gets In Your Eyes-In This Whole Wild World-A Worried Man-Tom Dooley-A Teenager In Love (Medley)/Young & Foolish/Rock & Roll/Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring/Swing Down Chariot/He’s Goin’ Away/26 Miles-Early In The Morning-Lazy Summer Night-Got A Girl-Big Man (Medley)/ In The Good Old Summer Time

The Four Preps were a vocal harmony group from California who achieved a couple of big US hit singles in the late 1950s. On Campus was their biggest selling LP. Their appearance and material appear a little dated for the campuses of the time. (US:8)

“They always put on a great show and sang beautifully, and threw in lot of clever humour. I glad some of their shows were saved and can still be listened to.”

“It was recorded live on college campuses around the US back in the early part of the 1960's. The Preps medleys are fantastic, and you have to listen again and again to catch everything said and sung. He's Goin’ Away and Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring are top-notch ballads. In short, there's something here for everyone. It's kind of Beach Boys harmony in blazers with a lot of tongue-in-cheek humour thrown in for good measure.”

“The Four Preps had some of the best harmony and overall sound of the times, and all of that was captured On Campus.”

“Good group of harmonious guys having fun on tour. Wish this kind of music was still being done.”
