This review is from: Philwit & Pegasus: Les Reed Presents a Mark Wirtz Production (Audio CD)

It didn't take much to get me to try a musical oddity or two from the UK in the 60's, and this was one such venture. I was immediately hooked. While this doesn't "rock" a great deal (it is pure pop),it sure does FLOW, it is well orchestrated, and the tunes just stick in your head. Here 40 or so years later, I still find myself humming "Yo Yo Thoughts." Sadly, the album got essentially no promotion from its small label, and I suppose the band name and album cover didn't give anyone much of a clue either. Until the last few years, I had no idea Mark Wirtz had an appreciable discography and pedigree in the UK pop scene. Stylistically this belongs alongside groups like the Fortunes, David and Jonathan, and so on. When my LP copy was destroyed by water damage in the mid-80's, I despaired that I would never hear these tracks again. Real pleasure to get this package with, egad, a few bonus tracks as good as those in the original set, if not stuck in my memory like the others.
