This album was also issued in true stereo. Unlike a typical "live" album by a rock and roll group of the day, it does not have their hits. The 4 Seasons was booked at the Copa in New York starting July 25, 1963. In addition to their hits, the contracted for special medleys of pop standards and show tunes. These medleys were designed to bridge their show to be entertaining to an adult audience. The medleys were arranged by Bill Heyer and Hank Beebe.
When the courts decided Bob Crewe still owed the Vee Jay label another album on their contract he edited down the Copa rehearsal tapes , recorded at Ohmstead Studios, to an album length that consisted primarily of the Heyer and Beebe medleys. Leaving out all the groups hit songs, previously on VJ, makes this a pretty lame album. Crewe did include a previously unissued single (probably required by the contract) then had his engineer, Bill McMeek into overdub Beatlemania type screaming audience. The audience overdub appears to be in mono, even on the stereo album version.
The complete unedited tapes of the Copa rehearsal appear to be lost.
