As part of

's
20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection
, the 12-track
Best of Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs
disc highlights the group's best-known material originally released on
MGM
in the mid-'60s. Besides the obvious hit singles
"Wooly Bully"
and
"Lil' Red Riding Hood,"
the real highlights are the timeless
"Ring Dang Doo,"
"(I'm in With) The Out Crowd,"
"Oh That's Good, No That's Bad,"
"Ju Ju Hand."
This is fun stuff with more groove and a slight edginess that, criminally,
Sam the Sham
was never given proper credit for. ~ Al Campbell
