Although mostly known for their contributions to the hit parade. They were in fact excellent musicians and singers and listening to their albums in retrospect reveals a whole world of music, which is mostly forgotten, but certainly deservers to be remembered. Most of the music the group played was penned by the pair of excellent songwriters Ken Howard and Alan BlaikleyFind albums by this artist, who also wrote songs for other British acts. This album continues to follow their development, with the music becoming quite ambitious and the orchestrations and arrangements sophisticated and complex, including Psychedelic influences and even proto-Prog moments. The material is superbly performed and sung, with vocal harmonies easily rivaling those of the BeatlesFind albums by this artist or the Beach BoysFind albums by this artist and many other acts of the time. The bonus material (which doubles the volume of the original content) includes the early hit singles by the group. People, who love the wonderful sound of the 1960s and the intelligent and clever British Pop, will find here quite a surprising wealth of memorable material to delight in. Most warmly recommended!
