5.0 out of 5 stars Easybeats as Heard by Shel Talmy, March 20, 2001

This is the Easybeats' big international breakthrough album, produced by Shel Talmy (the Kinks, Who, David Bowie, Creation). They had just arrived in the U.K., having completely saturated Australia. They had not yet absorbed any of the new sounds in London.

This album catches the Easybeats at the peak of their teen scream phase. Check out the great two-guitar interplay on most of the songs; this is one band that did not relegate the second guitarist to a minor supporting role. In fact, think of a 1960's era version of Television. That goes for the adenoidal vocals and tortured lyrics as well.

The extra tracks mop up most of the odds and ends recorded with Shel Talmy until he and band parted company after the commercial failure of "Heaven and Hell," the band's first real Vanda/Young mini-opera and their first track reflecting their exposure to the exploding London pop music scene.

In 1967, this album was probably a bit out of date. It would have made more sense in 1966. From the distance of thirty-odd years, however, this doesn't matter at all. Just buy this record as a fine 1966 effort and forget that it was really recorded a little later.

4.0 out of 5 stars A nice, overlooked gem, June 8, 2000

David Goodwin (Westchester, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Friday on My Mind (Audio CD)

To many usual listeners of British Invasion music, this CD might be a bit jarring...perhaps due to their Australian roots, the Easybeats have a very different vocal style than many of their contemporaries.

However, although they are usually dismissed as a one-off, there are MANY solid songs on this disc (and on others by the band as well). In true Early Repertoire tradition, the liner notes are incredibly poor, but the generous (although chronologically-nonsensical) bonus tracks. Happy is the Man, Lisa, the title track, You Me We Love...they're all surprisingly good, and though the disc is quite inconsistent (OK, HEAVILY inconsistent), I would definately recommend it.

this is a great album,so full of great songs,even alternate versions of some songs,which this great band often did.It is superb musicianship,singing,overall it is a great 60s sound that could fit right in with songs from todays music."Friday on my mind" was a hit song the world over.A truly great song,other songs here,could well have been big hits,if hitmakers had given these songs a listen.I recommend this band to people who liked hearing the beatles,the rolling stones,dave clark five,the rascals,honeybus,the move or the kinks etc.The music they created was kind of a unique sound,polished and down pat.Music thats a joy to listen to.No imitations here.Highly recommended.
