3.0 out of 5 starsUnit 4+2 (rep 4191-wy)
A Kid's Review on March 24, 2003
Format: Audio CD
I was somewhat disappointed by this disc. I have an original LP,LL3427 (London-mono).The track listings are different. The CD omits: "Tell Somebody You Know" and "Woman From Liberia". They are not even bonus tracks, what a shame. The other thing I find unnecessary, is the fact that the CD is in mono. The LP was avialable in stereo! How about master tapes? Overall, the disc is very good. There are 29 tracks! There should be 31.

5.0 out of 5 starsMore than just Concrete and clay
By Peter Durward Harris HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWER on April 13, 2003
Format: Audio CD
This British group originally comprised Peter Moules (lead vocal), David Meikle (guitar), Howard Lubin (guitar) and Thomas Moeller (keyboards) and was called Unit 4. Before achieving any success, Rod Garwood (bass) and Hugh Halliday (drums) joined. Rather than change the name to Unit 6 (the obvious new name), they became Unit 4 + 2.
Their music was a blend of folk, pop and rock'n'roll. Their first hit was The green fields, which just scraped into the British chart. The next single, Sorrow and pain, failed to chart at all. The real breakthrough came via their third single, the British chart-topper, Concrete and clay, which was also an American top thirty hit. The follow-up, You've never been in love like this before, was a British top twenty hit but only just got into the American chart. Ten more singles were released but none of them charted, during which time there were several personnel changes.
This compilation includes all the hits and several of the A-sides that failed to chart - there were too many failures to include them all here. It also includes covers of Cotton fields, 500 miles, La bamba, You've lost that loving feeling and Swing down chariot - four different songs with very different origins.
Unit 4 + 2 made some entertaining music, but history will record them as a one-hit wonder. This collection is for those (like me) who are deeply into sixties music and who want to explore its obscure backwaters.

3.0 out of 5 starsA Great Single, A Wonderful First Album, but...
By Cthulhu on June 28, 2004
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
Unit 4 + 2 is one of my favorite (there may be 100 + or so) groups of all time. Since I grew up during the so-called "British Invasion", that undoubtedly has a lot to do with it. Unit 4 + 2's first lp simply entitled "#1 featuring Concrete & Clay" was, I think, the fourth album I ever bought (the first three were "Doo Wah Diddy Diddy" by Manfred Mann, "True Love Ways" by Peter & Gordon & "Out Of Our Heads" by the Rolling Stones---one selling point for me being that those first 3 were monaural, and the Unit 4 + 2 lp was stamped "stereo"). Having become so intimately familiar with the American release vinyl version of Unit 4 + 2's first effort, therefore, I must say that I was more than a bit disappointed by this CD. Sure, I was warned beforehand that it was going to be mixed down in fabulous mono, still, I was, as I say, disappointed having to listen to these tracks in flat mode since many of them were in stereo on the original vinyl release. But where else was I going to find a digital copy of this gem? Although some of the songs on the vinyl were mono ("Concrete & Clay" being one---all of them tweaked out in shotty "re-processed stereo" so popular in that day), others, some of them my all-time faves, were clearly in lovely stereo. "Sorrow And Pain", "Wild Is The Wind", and "Cross A Million Mountains" all suffer from monomania on this CD release. You should hear them in stereo: they pulse & throb with rhythm across the stereo band with a full bodied magnificence. What a shame. Guess I'll have to go to the bother of converting these vinyl tracks to digital myself.

Another disappointment to me, since I got the American version of the album, is the fact that 2 of the songs on that album were not included on this CD.Read more ›

2.0 out of 5 stars"Concrete and Clay" is a Good Pop-Song
By Morten Vindberg on June 26, 2004
Format: Audio CD
I bought this CD because I had read that members of the Roulettes played a big part in this band.
I think The Roulettes was one the greatest English 1960`s bands that never really made it ( try to check out their CD! ), so I had hopes that this CD would be of the same high standards.
I was pretty disappointed. Maybe it`s unfair to compare this act with the Roulettes, because their styles are so different. I would rather compare Unit 4 + 2 with the Seekers or the softer side of the Searchers.
Their big hit "Concrete and Clay" is a good and catchy 1960`s pop song, but the majority of these songs sound dated and without profile. Even the rocking songs sound like their were played for Granny on her 75th birthday.
Who needs yet another version of "Cottonfields" or "La Bamba"?
Their version of Bob Dylan`s "You Ain`t Going Nowhere" is pretty good, though.
A lot of obscure British 1960`s bands made some terrific records, but apart from "Concrete and Clay" I don`t think Unit 4+2 has much to offer.

3.0 out of 5 starsTwo-fer of mid-60s UK vocal group's albums + bonus cuts
By hyperbolium on April 27, 2007
Format: Audio CD
This six-piece was one of several UK vocal groups whose blues-tinged folk-styled harmonies grew out of the British skiffle sound and the American folk-revival. Their earliest work (including their debut single "Cotton Fields" and a cover of "500 Miles") applied their smooth, multipart harmonies to standards that were blossoming in Greenwich Village. By their second single, "Sorrow and Pain," the rhythms were more sophisticated, and their third single, "Concrete and Clay" became the group's commercial high water mark. The single's bossa nova beat and Spanish-styled acoustic guitar runs were memorable then, and still sound unique to this day.

The band tried their hand at soul and gospel sides, a bit like the Box Tops, and as the '60s progressed they dabbled in organ-driven psychedelia with "3.30" and electrified their folk roots with a cover of Bob Dylan's "You Ain't Going Nowhere." Try as they might, they couldn't duplicate the success of "Concrete and Clay" (even when they recorded the knock-off "Baby Never Say Goodbye"), and never developed a commercial identity distinct from the hit. Their recorded legacy, represented here by a pair of albums and six bonus tracks, shows Unit 4 + 2 to be a talented group who simply didn't have the material or spark of others then on the scene.

Repertoire's 1993 29-track collection pulls together both albums released by the group on Decca, plus six bonus tracks - all in mono. The same label has recently dropped a 30-track compilation that focuses on the band's singles and includes the latter-day "I Was Only Playing Games," among other tracks missed here. With so many other UK vocal groups' catalogs available (Searchers, Gerry & The Pacemakers, Zombies, The Ivy League, et al), this isn't a necessity, but if you loved "Concrete and Clay," there's more to hear from Unit 4 +2.
