5.0 out of 5 stars Hermits' homage to Manchester, England, August 4, 2000

This review is from: Mrs Brown You've Got Lovely Daughter (Audio CD)

This third Herman's Hermits CD on the German Repertoire label gives us the group's soundtrack album from the 1968 MGM movie, «Mrs. Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter», plus ten bonus tracks, three of which are lifted from the «Best Of Volume 3» MGM LP from 1968. The remaining seven tracks are singles from 1969-70, which were not released in the States due to contractual problems with MGM, who were obviously going through a bad patch at the time and stopped promoting the group. Graham Gouldman (later of 10cc) originated four songs for the «Mrs. Brown» movie, including «It's Nice To Be Out In The Morning», the Hermits' homage to their hometown of Manchester. Other noteworthy tracks are «Regardez Moi», Peter Noone's French version of «Here Comes The Star», the reggae styled «Bet Yer Life I Do» written by Wilson-Brown of Hot Chocolate, and «Searching For The Southern Sun» a number written by Green-Hopwood-Leckenby with bassist Karl Green on lead vocals, the latter pointing out a new, slightly heavier direction for the Noone-less Hermits. The selfpenned instrumentals «Daisy Chain Parts I & II» are also bit unusual in style for the group, but as always the Hermits delivered the goods. Intended to be released as a single at the time, «Wings Of Love» is an excellent attempt at psychedelic pop with a lot of work laid down on the vocal harmonies. All this is adding up to a great CD, and with the Repertoire label's usual top quality packaging - gatefold digipak cover with a reproduction of the original album sleeve, plus informative booklet - this is a must for all Herman's Hermits fans!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Repackaging of the Hermits' First Two U.S. LPs, April 13, 2001

This review is from: Mrs Brown You've Got Lovely Daughter (Audio CD)

In 1965 the only group to chart more singles than Herman's Hermits were the Beatles. The Hermits placed six songs in the Top Ten: "Can't You Hear My Heart Beat" (No. 2), "Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter" (No. 1), "Silhouettes" (No. 5), "Wonderful World" (No. 4), "I'm Henry VIII, I Am" (No. 1) and "Just a Little Bit Better" (No. 7). And they're all here--along with their debut single from 1964, "I'm Into Something Good." Essentially this is a repackaging of the Hermits' first two U.S. albums Introducing Herman's Hermits and Herman's Hermits On Tour. [Note: "Kansas City Loving" from their debut is missing, but it does show up on Repertoire's Both Sides of Herman's Hermits which essentially repackages the Hermits' third and fourth album. I know, it doesn't make sense to me either!]

This is lightweight pop to be sure, but remember that when they released their first single Peter Noone was only 16 and all of the Hermits were still in their teens. [Although there are conflicting birth dates for the late Derek Leckenby. On the original album notes his birth date is listed as 5-14-43; the Rolling Stone Encyclopedia and the All-Music Guide list the birth date as 1945 and the reference book Rock Movers & Shakers lists it as 1946.]

Introducing Herman's Hermits was one of the first five albums I ever bought and I was thrilled to be able to get it on CD. I only wish the original artwork from the U.S. albums had been used, like with Capitol's two-fer reissues of the Beach Boys. It should also be noted that although the Hermit's enjoyed chart success in the UK ("I'm Into Something Good" went to No. 1 in 1964), they had two albums released in the U.S. before they released an LP in Britain!

While I enjoyed EMI's excellent 25-track anthology The Very Best of Herman's Hermits, this Repertoire release gives you not only seven of their biggest hits, but album tracks too. You get wonderful covers of Buddy Holly's "Heartbeat," Skeeter Davis' "The End of the World," Frankie Ford's "Sea Cruise," the G-Clefs' "I Understand" and Ernie K-Doe's "Mother-In-Law." Sure, the Hermits were infrequently used in the studio, but that shouldn't stop you from enjoying these pop gems from the early days of the British Invasion. RECOMMENDED

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the early years by Herman and his hermits, August 4, 2000

This review is from: Mrs Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter ( (Audio CD)

The basis for this German CD on Repertoire Records is the group's 12-track debut album released in the UK/Europe in 1965. The CD-insert is an informative booklet with biography, discography and photos, and the original LP sleeve photo is used on the front cover. Herman's Hermits' first album is a charmingly simplistic set of songs recorded at Kingsway Studios, London. It includes the big US hits «I'm Henry The Eight, I Am» and «Mrs. Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter», the latter recorded in a hurry as the last track on the album. Little did they know that it was to become their biggest ever selling US single. The Hermits also perform entertaining covers of Buddy Holly's «Heartbeat», Cliff Richard's «Travelling Light», The Yardbirds' «For Your Love» and Skeeter Davis' «The End Of The World» to name but a few. Two selfpenned numbers by Hopwood-Leckenby, «Tell Me baby» and «Don't Try To Hurt Me», are also good. With 13 bonus tracks, mostly hits, this CD simply gives you the best of the early years by Herman and his bandmates.
