Biography

Darts were a nine-strong, energetic doo-wop group whose brand of visual excitement and tight harmonies earned them rave reviews wherever they played. They had a string of chart hits in the late seventies and early eighties and were one of the hardest working bands of that period. During their time on Magnet Records they spent 117 weeks in the UK singles charts, 57 weeks in the album charts and… Read more in Amazon's The Darts Store

Doo Wop Heaven! 17 Oct 2006
By M. Nix
Format:Audio CD
In 1977 fro my 12th christmas, mum and dad bought me my first stereo, an alba cassette radio. They also bought me my first album - The Amazing darts, on cassette. needless to say it got played to death, and became a firm favourite. Years later, with a collection of cassettes, vinyl and CD albums in the thousands, it is still a favourite album. but alas, the tape finally bit the dust and I was left with nothing. Then came the darts CD 'the platinum collection'. Fantastic to finally be able to hear darts again, but unfortunately the compilation contained only half of the 20 tracks I wanted.

Now, at last, with the release of this double CD, I finally have all the tracks I loved so much, plus a whole heap of extra material to listen too. Pure heaven. Darts have to be one of the very best bands of any era. Tremendous fun to listen to, but musically brilliant too. With classic and self penned tracks of pure doo wop, rock & roll, & boogie woogie. Superb musicianship, tight harmonies, and above all a sense that they really loved doing what they did. I wish today's pop music had half the sense of enjoyment and less of it's own sense of self importance. If you can listen to this without tapping your toes or singing along, you must have been lobotomised! Buy this, you will not be disappointed.

DARTS ARE DOUBLE TOP 24 Jun 2007
Format:Audio CD
I've been a fan of the band since the start and have most of their stuff.

This album is a welcome re-issue as it gives fans new and old a chance to relive those memories.

I'm sure you'll all be glad to hear that the Darts have reformed for a 30th anniversary reunion and are performing at the 100 Club in London on November 9th so get your tickets fast for what is guaranteed to be a great night. see www.amazingdarts.com for other dates

I cannot think of anything bad to say about any of the songs or of where they appear on the cds as they bring back so many memories, however, someone at Warner quality control office needs a kick in the pants. There is a glaring printing error on both the back inlay cover and in the booklet that states the first bonus track on cd2 is Don't Let It Fade Away, the error is also apparent when you play the cd on a pc/laptop. This is bearable however in addition I have had two copies now that both skipped on Goodbye Brenda at 2min 45secs. I would suggest if you buy the cd to check this track first.
