for more obscure stuff, I really like "Dream Babies" - which has The Girls' "Chico's Girl" and The Satisfactions' "Daddy, You just Gottta Let Him In" - which are both "He's Not A Rebel" style love songs to bad boys...

One Kiss Can Lead to Another is a bit of a canon choice now, but it's REALLY good. Cool packaging as well!

The Ace Records "Early Girls" discs (5 volumes so far) are excellent collections of hits, forgotten hits and collector faves. They're a good next-step following the Rhino "Best of the Girl Groups" and "One Kiss Can Lead to Another" comps.
(Speaking of "One Kiss...": Sequel please, Rhino!)

there's an amazing (mainly soul) record store out here in sf named rooky ricardo's where the owner makes a bunch of bootleg cd compilations and sells them for like $5 each. picked up a couple AMAZING girl group ones, some incredibly rare and not so rare stuff in there but all in all both are great listens. seemed like a good way to get people to come back to the shop too, looking for vinyl versions of their favorite songs off the cds, etc

I almost ordered this on a whim after scrolling up and seeing it (it’s been a while since I’ve bought a girl group CD)... but first I went to my shelf, and found I already have it; and had marked only track “8” with a Post-it note on the front (meaning I found that to be the only notable track that I didn’t already have elsewhere).
