Review:
A surprisingly good collection
I was surprised by how good this compilation is.
Like most others who
were there at the time, all I remember of Crispian St Peters is You Were On My
Mind (which I loved) and The Pied Piper (which I didn't). In fact, he recorded a lot more very decent
stuff. It's pretty standard 60s-sounding
pop in a way, but the man had a good voice and the material isn't bad at all. The overall sound really brings back an era
for me and the songs – often about Losing The One He Loves – are quite
affecting at times. Evidence, perhaps,
of the truth of Noel Coward's saying, "Extraordinary how potent cheap music is."
This isn't a collection of timeless classics, but it's much
better than you might expect. If you're
interested in 60s and early 70s pop, I can recommend it.
