About Retrospective
Amazon.com The 26 tracks on Retrospective show that it's not enough to just have hits, you have to have hits with the right songs. Herman's Hermits came to prominence during the early days of the British Invasion with a mix of odes to teenage love such as "Can't You Hear My Heartbeat," "Mrs. Brown, You've got a Lovely Daughter," and "I'm Into Something Good" and mildly rocked-up versions of ancient English music hall songs like George Formby's 1937 hit "Leaning on a Lamp Post" and the 1911 chart-topper "I'm Henry the VIII, I Am." By 1966, two years after lead singer Peter Noone and his band mates scored their first hit, they were pigeonholed as a novelty act and their records stopped charting. Which is too bad because their later songs like "No Milk Today," "East West," and "Don't Go Out Into the Rain" are delightful dollops of late 1960s British pop. Many of these later songs featured string arrangements by John Paul Jones and guitar parts by Jimmy Page, who were both studio musicians before they formed Led Zeppelin. Herman's Hermits were not among the most important bands from the British Invasion, but their best songs perfectly captured the giddy spirit of the times and are certainly worth revisiting. --Michael John Simmons Product Description No less than 26 hybrid, SACD-remastered tracks from Peter Noone and crew you're into something very good!
