Singles Plus, The

Nu slechts € 14,99 Pat Boone's early career is littered with pop crossovers like ''Ain't That a Shame'' and ''Tutti Frutti,'' records that neutered their superior R&B predecessors and fostered resentment from contemporary fans as well as latter-day music historians. Once Boone settled into his pop career, however, he proved himself a fair singer of heartbroken ballads with a pronounced countrypolitan tilt, effectively explored on this two-disc Dutch import. Surveying his career from the mid-'50s to the mid-'60s, The Singles+ reissues nearly 50 singles (or tracks from extended-play singles), touching on all his major hits, beginning with the 1955 chart-topper ''Ain't That a Shame.'' Boone's next number one was another cover, but he transformed Ivory Joe Hunter's ''I Almost Lost My Mind'' into a brilliant, ghostly song that sounded like the words of a hollow man. His work of the early '60s found him recording a parade of solid ballads such as ''Fool's Hall of Fame,'' ''Moody River,'' and ''With the Wind and the Rain in Your Hair.'' The collection wraps up with a look at Boone's attempts to change with the times: a cover of ''Memphis Tennessee'' and the Beach Boys imitator ''Beach Girl,'' written by soon-to-be Beach Boy Bruce Johnston and Terry Melcher. ~ John Bush
