Peter and Gordon CD.......2007-06-08

It was wonderful hearing the Peter & Gordon hits of the 60's. Great melodies; awesome harmony. It brought back wonderful and happy memories from my teen years.

Peter & Gordon - 'The Ultimate.....' (Collector's Choice).......2007-02-15

Hadn't heard this British Merseybeat duo's music in ages. They just remind me so much of Chad&Jeremy. Total of twenty tracks here to check out once again. Some of the cuts I thought were good are "A World Without Love" (possibly their most memorable hit), "Love Me Baby", "I Go To Pieces", "Lady Godiva", "Woman" and the snappy "You've Had Better Times". Didn't REALIZE that Peter&Gordon covered so many other's music,like the Beatles, E.King, Phil Spector, etc. Should definitely appeal to fans of the Seekers, Gerry&The Pacemakers, Herman's Hermits and the Mindbenders.

About Peter & Gordon (& Paul & Jane).......2006-10-16

Peter Asher and his sister Jane came from an affluent London family and had been successful child actors. Jane interviewed a newly-famous Paul McCartney and began a relationship with him. Thus he was introduced to the Asher household and met brother Peter, who had teamed up with Gordon Waller (a friend from his days at the frighteningly expensive Westminster school) to form a singing duo. This was an extraordinarily productive time for Lennon and McCartney (which we are now informed was actually McCartney and Lennon, and which no doubt will eventually be revealed to have been simply McCartney) and they had songs to spare. Peter & Gordon's first three releases were Lennon and McCartney exclusives and were hits. Paul actually gives a spoken introduction and sign-off to the third track, I Don't Want To See You Again.

The first thing that struck me on rehearing Peter & Gordon after all these years was how genteel and upper-crust they sound, especially on A World Without Love. It's not often you hear a posh English accent in post-1960 music, so that gives it some novelty value.

After the Beatles exclusives ceased, they struggled to find songs. Their covers of True Love Ways and To Know You Is To Love You are very good, but their own attempts at composition, such as Don't Pity Me are, well...pitiable.

You've Had Better Times, the penultimate track, is interesting. Recorded by an apparently inebriated duo plus assorted friends, including Brian Jones, it's a glorious mess, with missed notes (eliciting a "Whoops!" from Gordon) and erratic changes of tempo. Yet it has more soul and energy than anything else they recorded.

Jane went on to become more famous than Peter. She is a sort of British Martha Stewart, famous for her megacalorific cream cakes. Peter went on to be a producer and is credited with discovering James Taylor. Gordon continued to record and perform. Whatever happened to Paul?

Peter & Gordon are good but not great vocalists, who offer a melodic, easy sound that is characteristic (apart from the accents) of the early sixties. The tracks you absolutely must hear from this album are the first two (A World Without Love and Nobody I know) and the novelty song Lady Godiva, which the duo hated but I think is quite fun.

The (rather cursory) insert notes end with a definitive statement that the duo have no plans to reunite, as it would 'cheapen the memory of their music'. Sure enough, as I write this review, they are on a reunited tour of the US. No doubt the Baby Boomers will be out in force to hear them, and to recall a time that seemed so revolutionary and dangerous then, but seems so genteel and safe now.

Not original radio versions?-but good.......2006-04-05

I just saw P&G perform their first concert in 39 years and thought I would buy a CD. I agree with "Fresh Oldies Fan". For people looking for the original versions, I don't think these are the versions we grew up with. Close though-or somehow manipulated.

Fresh Oldie Fan.......2005-11-23

"Ultimate" is the appropriate title, although not totally accurate. This CD has many or all of this duo's greatest hits, but don't expect the familiar radio versions - because they aren't there. The cuts are nevertheless pristine, but this is for diehard fans who love all P & G's work, regardless of source.

In many respects, this relatively condensed package contains everything you need by the duo that's been called "the Everly Brothers of the British Invasion," including all the American hits--from the four that Paul McCartney wrote for them (you see, Peter Asher's actress sister, Jane, was Macca's steady gal for years) to the Buddy Holly cover, their take on Del Shannon's timeless "I Go to Pieces," and their foray into music-hall schtick via "Lady Godiva" and "Knight in Rusty Armor." Rhino's "best of" has 10 additional tracks--including the duo's self-penned nonhits--but that may be for completists only. --Bill Holdship

Great voices of Peter and Gordon.......2007-03-09

Peter and Gordon were get at harmonizing. "I Go to Pieces" and "A World Without Love" are sensational! Every song is great on this 10 song CD. Whatever happened to their great voices?

Worth the money, but just.......2006-02-24

Peter and Gordon were responsible for three singles of interest; if one needs to hear them again, this is the collection worth buying. Anything else would require more money and time than P and G are quite honestly worth. And there you have it.

Peter & Gordon-Greatest Hits.......2005-10-21

It was refreshing to relive the early 60's again with this copulation of Peter & Gordon hits. The love songs were of a gentler emotional time and the "fun" songs ie Lady Godiva were of less raunchiness.

A really bare boned look at the best of Peter & Gordon.......2005-03-01

Peter & Gordon's "Greatest Hits" is not the best Peter & Gordon collection out there. That would be the 2001 release of "The Ultimate Peter & Gordon." Peter Asher and Gordon Waller were the rock duo who had the distinction of being the first group in the British Invasion other than the Beatles to have a #1 hit, "A World Without Love." Of course, the explanation for this success was that Asher's younger sister Jane was Paul McCartney's girlfriend during the first part of the Sixties. This connection paid off with three other hits for Peter & Gordon, namely: "Nobody I Know" (#12), "I Don't Want to See You Again" (#16) and "Woman" (#14).

Of course, even without their recoding discarded Beatles songs Peter & Gordon would be remembered for their novelty hit "Lady Godiva" (#6). But with their softer, more acoustic sound, you can see Peter & Gordon as being more in tune with the folk-rock movement than with the British Invasion. In fact, Asher would go on to be a producer who helped define the mellow sound of California rock, which would seem to help prove the point. Notice that their folksier songs, like "Knight in Rusty Armour" stands up a lot better than ones where the production values lean towards orchestrations, such as "To Know You Is to Love You."

At the very least, Peter & Gordon represent the lighter side of the British Invasion, and you can have fun figuring out who their dark side counterpart would be. The only serious knock against them is that Asher and Waller were average song-writers at best (but notice that the album ends with a pair of songs the duo wrote individually). The knock on Peter & Gordon's "Greatest Hits" is simply that while it has their five best songs, it only provides five more beyond that and that does not include "Baby I'm Yours" and their version of Phil Ochs' "The Flower Lady."

A budget-priced compilation that's actually pretty good.......2004-07-03

The pop duo of Peter And Gordon were one of the truly great groups to emerge from the British invasion of the sixties. Sadly, with other really popular bands from the invasion like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, people tend to forget lesser-known groups such as this. That's a real shame, because Peter And Gordon were damn fine musicians. Over the years, they have received many hits compilations. How does this budget-priced one measure up? Read on and find out.

PROS:
-EVERY ONE OF THE DUO'S BIG HITS CAN BE FOUND IN THIS SET. Usually, budget-priced compilations are severely lacking, but this one has every major hit the duo had! The Paul McCartney-penned tunes A World Without Love and I Don't Want To See You Again, as well as the covers of Del Shannon's I Go To Pieces and Buddy Holly's True Love Ways can all be found here. The lesser known hits, including the single-only track Knights In Rusty Armour, can be found here as well. This is a lot more than I can say for most band's budget-priced hits compilations!
-YOU GET SEVERAL UNDERRATED MASTERPIECES AS WELL. Peter And Gordon fail to get little recognition outside of their hits, which is a real problem, because they has so many non-hit tracks that were excellent. Don't overlook these!
-PRICE. To put it in the simplest terms possible, you are not going to find a Peter And Gordon hits compilation that costs less than this one. And since it's got an excellent variety of tracks, why not buy it?

CONS:
-THE ONLY THING THAT IS REALLY WRONG WITH THIS SET IS THAT A FULL-PRICE, FULL-BLOWN HITS COMPILATION IS BETTER. I strongly suggest you shell out the money and get a better hits compilation than this one, but if you're just a casual fan, this one really should be enough for you.

OVERALL:
I HATE budget-priced compilations, but this is a rare example of one that I DON'T hate! Whoever compiled this set actually did a pretty good job with what little space was used on the disc. If you're a casual fan of Peter And Gordon and you don't want to shell out the extra cash for a full-blown hits compilation, this makes an excellent alternative.

Definitive British hits collection.......2004-10-06

Peter and Gordon's major British hits were A world without love (number one), Nobody I know, To know you is to love you and True love ways. Their minor British hits are here too, these being Baby I'm yours (a cover of Barbara Lewis' American hit), Woman and Lady Godiva. One of their minor American hits, There's no living without your loving, was a British hit for Manfred Mann.

There are plenty of covers here too - these include Lucille (Little Richard), Leave my woman alone (Ray Charles), Crying in the rain (Everly brothers), Somewhere (from West side story), Homeward bound (Simon and Garfunkel), Michelle (Beatles), 500 miles, Tell me how, Green leaves of summer, When I fall in love and Freight train. They are from a variety of sources, yet they are all made to fit Peter and Gordon's easy going style, which contrasts nicely with a lot of the other (more generally upbeat) pop music of the time.

This is a wonderful, relaxing collection, which contrasts nicely with a lot of the other pop music of the time, which was generally more upbeat.

Ultimate Collection ( Import ) Peter and Gordon.......2002-07-21

An excellent example of the best of " Peter and Gordon " .
Good quality sound tracts and seemly complete ( 24 tracts ) set of the best from this British Duo .

One downside is the lack of stereo tracts , less than a quarter of these songs have been recorded in stereo , a sign of the times in the mid sixties .

Overall I rate this album ( CD ) very highly , a must for those who enjoy one of Britian's top male Duo's from the sixties.

Great sound and great song!.......2007-05-19

I loved the song "A New Day" after hearing it on the radio. I tracked it down and ordered the CD. All the songs are terrific.

Along with the Good Vibrations are my favorites.......2007-05-15

Own it! It's all worth it!
"You are the new day" is my personal favorite song.

My dad loves it.......2007-02-13

If he likes it then I am happy. Not my cup of tea. I like the idea that there where some Beatles tunes. Dad is 57 I am 36 might be the difference in age. NOt sure. Just not my cup of tea

Great Album!.......2006-04-22

I was very amazed when I first heard this album. Their sound is like no other. They are so unique that you can't compare them to other acapella groups.

I can say that their sound is better than a mixed choir because even though the King's Singers is only composed of 6 members. Their sound volume can beat a 30 member choir due to the quality of their voice.

My favorite is "It Was Almost Like A Song" because of the countertenor's very light voice. The baritone part was also awesome as he dominated the scene when he took the melody.

Overall, great album. This has to be one of the King's Singers best albums released. All songs are great that you can't resist missing a moment on listening it.

Beautiful singing; clever arrangements.......2002-06-14

I have been a fan of The King's Singers since their debut recording thirty years ago. New Day is one of my favourite albums. It has the terrific optimistic song "New Day," but many other wonderful tracks.

"Can't Buy Me Love" is sung as if it had been written by one of the Renaissance madrigal writers when he was in a very good mood. There are other up tempo tracks like this one, including Abba's "Money, Money, Money" and "The Rhythm of Life," but the CD also includes some romantic, lush singing in songs such as "Three Times A Lady," "The Summer Knows" and "It Was Almost Like A Song."

The clever arrangement of Barry Manilow's "Could It Be Magic?" begins with an extract from a sombre Chopin Prelude in C minor.

Highly recommended.

A couple of albums from Peter & Gordon's last stage.......2005-10-14

If you were wondering who were the first British Invasion group other than the Beatles to have a #1 in the United States the answer is Peter & Gordon, who scored with "A World Without Love." Of course that song was written by Lennon & McCartney because Paul McCartney was dating Jane Asher, the younger sister of Peter Asher who teamed with Gordon Waller to for this relatively successful pop duo. Peter & Gordon had three other Lennon & McCartney penned hits with "Nobody I Know," "I Don't Want to See You Again," and finally, "Woman," which is the title song for the first of the two albums included on this CD representing the latter part of their career. These are not consecutively produced Peter & Gordon albums, but I think the compatibility of the titles might have come into play here in deciding to pair these two up on one CD.

"Woman" was released in 1966 and the title track made it to #14. The song was written by "Bernard Webb," which was really Paul McCartney. Peter & Gordon were being dissed for having the Beatles write their hit songs, so McCartney created Webb as his Richard Backman and Peter & Gordon proved they could have some success without benefiting from the Lennon & McCartney names (a point that "Lady Godiva" would prove even better). The other minor hit from the album is "There's No Living Without Your Loving" (#50). But what stands out on this album are the collection of cover songs, which includes "The Green Leaves of Summer" from "The Alamo," "High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me)" from "High Noon," and "Somewhere" from "West Side Story." Then toss in another movie theme, "3:10 From Yuma," another Frankie Laine song that was also covered by Sandy Denny. These are interesting enough, but the one original Asher & Waller song, "Wrong From the Start," is the other really good song on the album besides the title track. "The Green Leaves of Summer" is the best of the covers, as you would expect knowing the song and the duo.

The 1967 album "Lady Godiva" continues in the same musical vein, with a cover of "Exodus," which is followed by other familiar songs like "When I Fall in Love" and "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing." This time there is nothing written by the Beatles for the boys but an over-orchestrated cover of "If I Fell," but Peter & Gordon sing a couple of songs the Beatles covered on their early albums with "A Taste of Honey" and "Till There Was You." The problem is that all this is getting too be a bit much at this point and if you want to try something interesting, program your CD player to lose the covers and turn these two average Peter & Gordon albums (which made it to #60 and #80 respectively on the Billboard album charts), into one rather decent one. The two original compositions by the duo, "The Morning's Calling" and "Star Trying Someone Else," are lesser efforts, which is why the novelty hit "Lady Godiva" (#6) stands out. This CD also has a pair of bonus tracks, with "Jokers" (#97) and Knight in Rusty Armour" (#15) the title song from another 1967 album, coming from singles also written by Mike Leander and Charlie Mills, who penned "Lady Godiva." With those additions and the fact you get two albums on one CD I can round up on this one, but it is a close call and only real Peter & Gordon fans are going to want to bother with this instead of a solid collection of their hits.

4.5 stars - The last set of Peter And Gordon reissues.......2004-06-05

Woman (1966.) Peter And Gordon's fifth album.
Lady Godiva (1966.) Peter And Gordon's sixth album.

Although they have been all but forgotten in the modern day, Peter And Gordon were one of the greatest British pop acts of the sixties. Sadly though, they never made the same impact that many of their contemporaries in this era did. That's a real shame, because Peter Asher and Gordon Waller really were musical geniuses. Fortunately though, Peter had friends in high places - and one of those friends was Beatle Paul McCartney. McCartney provided the title tracks to the band's first two albums, A World Without Love and I Don't Want To See You Again. This greatly helped their popularity. In 1965, the duo released their third and fourth albums, I Go To Pieces and True Love Ways which also achieved moderate popularity. Their final two LPs, Woman and Lady Godiva, were released in 1966. Read on for my review.

The first LP that the band released in 1966 was Woman. The title track on this album is an excellent, melodic pop tune that is given new life in the hands of Peter And Gordon. The band did a LOT of covers, and it really shows on this album - The ONLY Peter And Gordon original featured on the LP is Wrong From The Start. This is a damn fine pop rocker that more than holds its own against the covers featured here. The cover of Let It Be Me is also very good. All in all, I wish this album had more Peter And Gordon originals, but I'm not complaining. It's a solid album through and through. Four out of five stars.

Next comes the band's second LP from 1966, Lady Godiva. Peter And Gordon really started to diversify their musical stylings on their I Go To Pieces LP from the previous year, and this is another attempt at the band broadening their horizons. The end result is remarkable. Like the previous LP, there are very few original compositions here - only The Morning's Calling and Start Trying Something Else were written by Peter And Gordon. Like on the previous LP, what little originals they offered are very good. The title track sounds like something that came from the swing era, and the boys manage to give it new life. And what would a sixties pop album be without a Beatles cover? If I Fell, a Beatles song originally featured on the A Hard Day's Night LP, is covered here. No, this doesn't top the original, but it's still very good. There are also two songs featured on this LP that aren't Beatles originals, but were made popular originally by the Beatles - A Taste Of Honey and Till There Was You. The Beatles version of A Taste Of Honey was downright pathetic (it pains me to speak harshly of my favorite band), but the Peter And Gordon version of it is MUCH better. The band doesn't really improve on Till There Was You, but it's right about on par with the Beatles version. Baby I'm Yours is another sixties pop tune cover, and this version of the song outdoes the original. There aren't many bands that could frequently succeed at improving other people's songs, but Peter And Gordon were one of thse groups. In the end, the duo's last LP is one of their finest. A perfect five out of five for this one.

In addition to remastering the Peter And Gordon catalogue and combining multiple albums onto a single disc, the record company has done us one better and included single-only bonus tracks entitled Jokers and Knight In Rusty Armor. The two albums featured on this CD are great, and the bonus tracks are the icing on the cake.

There is no such thing as a bad Peter And Gordon album, and the two LPs that have been combined onto this single compact disc have proven to be no exception to that rule. It's a shame Peter And Gordon don't get the proper recognition, because they were one of the finest pop acts to emerge from the sixties. If you're a fan of British pop music from the sixties, these Peter And Gordon reissues are highly recommended.

Last two albums from British invasion duo.......2002-08-18

Peter and Gordon recorded six albums together in the mid-sixties. Collectables have released them all on three CD's, including as bonus tracks some singles that didn't appear on any of those original albums. This is the final pairing, containing the fifth and sixth of the six albums, with two bonus tracks (Jokers and Knight in rusty armour). The songs are mainly soft, mid-tempo ballads. The major hits here are the two title tracks, but if you're thinking of buying this, it's the other tracks that you will be interested in.

Apart from the two major hits, this CD includes three minor hits (There's no living without your loving - a big British hit for Manfred Mann - and the two bonus tracks) and plenty of covers. They only wrote three original songs here (Wrong from the start, The morning's calling and Start trying someone else) which are enjoyable without being exceptional. Perhaps they didn't have time, or perhaps they didn't think their own songs were good enough to include more.

The covers are from a variety of sources including R+B (Baby I'm yours), mucicals (Somewhere - from West side story), the Beatles (If I fell), folk (Green leaves of summer) and cowboy (High noon). Yet, they are all made to fit Peter and Gordon's easy going style, which contrasts nicely with a lot of the other (more generally upbeat) pop music of the time.

'AM Gold - 1965' (Warner Special Products) Various Artists.......2006-10-14

Total of 22 tracks from 1965, several that I have truly fond memories of hearing them blasting out of the family station wagon when I was a kid. Cuts like Petula Clark's "Downtown", Tom Jone's heart throb of a gem "What's New Pussycat?", Righteous Brother's "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" (have always like The Firm's version of this tune as well), Peter And Gordon's "I Go To Pieces" and the(sort of)obscure We Five sole hit "You Were Always On My Mind", a lot of oldie fans I've talked with simply don't remember these guys. Recommended.

The striking time-lapse imagery of Godfrey Reggio's Koyaanisquatsi was really an accompaniment to Philip Glass's music, rather than the other way around. Think of it this way: You can listen to the music without the film, but you'd never watch the film without the music. OK, maybe you didn't leave the theater humming the tunes (although I do remember going around chanting that thrillingly deep-throated "Koyaanisqatsi" for a while); this is some of Glass's most dramatic and powerful music-- essential for anybody interested in modern film music, or just modern music in general. --Jim Emerson

You have to see it live!!!.......2005-10-29

This CD was my introduction to Philip Glass since then it has been a long down hill slide to poverty by feeding my addiction for more Glass.

If you think the VHS and DVD are good you need to see it live. I first saw Koyaanisqatsi live at Santa Monica College on the outdoor field, the second time was at Royce hall at UCLA then in 2001 at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle each time seemed better than the previous. Now that all three films are done I am hoping to see them each live in a three day marathon.

The Grid was better in this recording.......2005-03-12

The Koyaanisqatsi music is simply fantastic.

Both the original soundtrack recording, and the newer re-recording, are very good, but they are different, each with its own strengths and relative weaknesses compared to the other.

I think The Grid was much more exciting and intense, in this original version. Especially the bass; I miss the driving throbbing power of the basslines in this version, when I listen to the re-recording, where the bass is laid back in the background, in comparison.

Leaves out one of the best pieces.......2005-02-20

This is powerful music if you like Philip Glass, but this compilation lacks what I consider the most moving track. It's about 8 minutes long and I think of it as the "Desert sequence." It starts with a slow string progression over aerial views of orange canyons and Monument Valley. It's immediately followed by "Cloudscape" after the scene with the caves and steam vents. I can listen to it over and over and the power doesn't fade. It lacks the frantic harshness of some Glass material.

They re-issued the soundtrack in 1998 and may have included this track (I haven't heard it) but reviews say it's not the original stuff and sounds watered-down. I extracted and converted the Desert sequence from my DVD, so I'm happy, but they could have easily fit it on the CD since the other tracks consume just 46 minutes. I don't know why they left so much off unless they did it as an LP first and were too lazy to re-make it. CDs were introduced to the market shortly after Koyaanisqatsi was released.

A teaser at best..........2002-10-31

I've had the VHS for a number of years and watched it several times through a low end audio/video setup. It was satisfactory. This CD gave me the highlights I missed on the low end VHS tape.

I bought the DVD but haven't watched it yet because I was saving it to see the movie on the big screen. This past weekend I got to see the movie on the big screen but, to my surprise and profound glory, I got to see it not only on the big screen but I got to see it live with Philip Glass and company performing the soundtrack in person. Oh my what I've been missing.

I have since recorded the DVD onto tape and never realized just how much I missed and how profound the recording is. Of course I may be biased having seen it live and the images of the movie emblazened into my brain when I hear the score but I absolutely love this composition.

The reason it only gets four stars is that you must get the DVD; you must have the entire score. Anything less is to your loss. It's as if I never heard it before.

My recommendation is to see it with the film but the soundtrack stands on its own as an amazing piece of music. The score for Powaqqatsi is also brilliant but perhaps because, as noted on the 'extras' on the DVD, no one was waiting for this movie, this stands out as an inspired piece, moreso than Powaqqatsi (which is also brilliant but in a different way).

Invest in the DVD and don't tease yourself with this album alone. As an independent piece of music or as accompaniment to a brilliant piece of filmmaking, it's awesome.

Get the Re-Recording!!!!.......2002-01-26

Although any album by Philip Glass is worth the money, honestly, if you are craving the music from the movie "Koyaanisqatsi", then the 1998 re-Recording will please you a hundred-fold more than this one. The new one is longer and not merely a "soundtrack", it IS the movie, sans images. But you make up your own images, if you like.

The music is great, the total package, not so much.......2006-09-23

Peter and Gordon have been unjustly ignored in the annals of rock history in general and in the assessment of the British invasion in particular. This could be attributable to the sorry state of their recorded canon on CD, which up until the three Collectable twofer collections, comprised a long series of very nice but generally redundant greatest-hits CDs. Unfortunately, Collectables barely exceeded the minimum amount of effort in creating their reissues, for whatever reason.

As is obvious from most of their product, Collectables doesn't have a lot of money for graphics or design. Their approach on licensed product from major labels indicates they also try to save on the total number of tracks, rarely exceeding 24. (Sadly, Capitol never did a P&G "Definitive Collection" like they did with their other British invasion acts, which took full advantage of the CD capacity, often with 30 or 31 songs.) Each of the three discs in their Peter & Gordon reissues adheres to this rule of thumb, as if this will somehow fulfill any possible collectors' needs. Collectables obviously chose to only consider reissuing the six Capitol LPs that charted on Billboard's Top 200. Their other four Capitol albums were skipped: their fifth, 1966's "Peter and Gordon Sing The Hits of Nashville, Tennessee" (which preceded "Lady Godiva" by about a month) and their final three, 1967's "Knight In Rusty Armor" (featuring two of the "bonus" tracks from these three CDs, "Knight in Rusty Armor" and "To Show I Love You") and "In London For Tea" (featuring the other two "bonus" tracks, "Sunday For Tea" and "The Jokers"), and 1968's "Hot, Cold and Custard," (their final hurrah, an adventurous LP which was critically acclaimed and incredibly hard to find). That the bonus tracks are all we will be getting from these four albums is hardly indicative of either their quality, or any dearth of rare tracks they could easily have added to those first three CDs in their stead.

Although more popular in the U.S. than in their native England, the first two Peter & Gordon albums appeared there first, and when Capitol imported them for release, they were no kinder to their running order than they were to the Beatles. In particular, their second LP "In Touch With," featured three songs never released in America: "Barbara Allen," "Ain't That Lovin' You Baby," and "Leave Me In The Rain." Additionally, the '64 UK EP "Just For You" featured "Roving Rambler," while the '64 French EP, "Nobody I Know," contained "Leave My Woman Alone." A 1966 45 appeared only in Germany: "Wunder" b/w "Liebe, Gluck und Treue," while a four-song French-language EP also appeared in France that year, "Chantent En Francais." Two B-sides fell through the cracks: 1966's "Start Trying Someone Else" (B-side of "To Show I Love You," later used in the UK as the B-side of "Sunday For Tea"), and 1967's "The Town I Live In" (the quickly withdrawn original B-side of "Lady Godiva"). The final single tracks that never appeared on LP or CD were also their final record as a duo: "I Can Remember (Days Gone By)" b/w "Hard Time, Rainy Day." The first Gordon Waller solo single "Speak To Me" b/w "Little Nonie" appeared only in the U.S. while the pair were still together in 1967; four more 45s by Gordon alone appeared on EMI labels (two in England only, one in Europe only, and one, the Buddy Holly song "Everday" b/w "Because of a Woman," came out in America, England, and presumably the rest of the world--all in 1968. (Two more Waller singles appeared on Bell in '69 and '70, but that would require two separate licenses.) Live versions of their early hits appeared on both 1964's "Tribute to Michael Holliday" ("A World Without Love") and 1990's "The Sullivan Years: The British Invasion" ("I Don't Want To See You Again.") So there are fifteen released studio tracks, ten solo Gordon Waller EMI songs, and a couple of live tracks, sufficiently spread out over the years to provide quite appropriate bonus tracks which wouldn't have stood out production-wise for the proposed five CDs which would have contained the original ten LPs. And except for that final single and the solo Gordon songs, all of them appear on British or Japanese CDs which are still in print!

Instead, we got the still-quite-enjoyable three discs featuring only a portion of the team's output, restricted (except for those "bonus" tracks) to their first two years' work, and rendered non-essential to anyone who has the original LPs. Because of the way Capitol spread out the recordings, many of the tracks left off the final two British albums "'66" and "Somewhere..." appear on the 1967 albums Collectables chose not to reissue. And we're all deprived of the experience of hearing "Hot, Cold and Custard," which those of us who couldn't find the money to buy it at list price on LP in 1968, really can't afford it now when it generally goes for in excess of $50 at a minimum.

Oh, what should have been. I still believe that both Peter & Gordon and their fans deserve far better.

4.5 stars - two excellent albums.......2004-04-27

A World Without Love (1964.) Peter And Gordon's first album.
I Don't Wan't To See You Again (1965.) Peter And Gordon's second album.

In the sixties, tons of pop-rock artists emerged from Great Britain. Though it's tough to remember many of them due to the enormous success of a few artists (Beatles, Rolling Stones, etc), their music was also excellent. Among these "forgotten" bands from the golden age of rock and roll was the pop duo Peter And Gordon. Although the duo's success would never come anywhere close to that of the more popular acts of the day, the songs they shelled out during their fairly short recording career were great. Read on for my review of the band's 1964 debut, A World Without Love, and their 1965 sophomore effort, I Don't Want To See You Again.

Peter And Gordon's first album, A World Without Love, was released in 1964. The title track, which had been released as a single around the same time as the album, had some chart success. The track was written by Beatle Paul McCartney, with whom the duo had pretty close ties (he'd also write other songs for them.) This is, perhaps, the song that the boys are most recognized for these days, and why not? It's an excellent song. Although the only really popular track present on the album, it's not the only good one. The album opens with a cover of Little Richard's Lucille, which is a fast-paced bluesy rocker. The ballad 500 miles is also excellent, and worth checking out. Most of the tracks on the album are between two and three minutes long, and they vary from rockers to ballads, and everything in between you'd expect from a sixties pop duo. Overall, this is an excellent album. My rating for it is four and a half stars (out of five.)

Next up we have the band's second LP, 1965's I Don't Want To See You Again. Although this LP had some chart success, it never quite measured up to the success of its predecessor. The title track to this release and Nobody I Know were, once again, songs the duo performed that were written for them by Paul McCartney. It's astonishing that McCartney chose NOT to record these songs with the Beatles, because they are VERY good! Oh, well. I don't think he could have given them to better musicians. Like the previous LP, this one has several Peter And Gordon originals, as well as a few covers. One of the covers is of the Willie Dixon tune, My Babe. Dixon was an inspiration to a number of rock stars, past and present, and Peter And Gordon prove to be no exception. Another excellent tune present is Freight Train. This song has somewhat of a country sound to it. Fusing different musical styles often has disastrous conseqences, but the boys manage to do it just fine. The sorrowful Lonely Avenue closes out the LP, and leaves a lasting impression on the listener. Once again, this is an LP that I give a rating of four and a half stars (out of five.)

In addition to combining two wonderful albums on a single compact disc, the record company does you one more favor - you get a bomus track! To Show I Love You was a non-LP, single only track that was released in 1966. The song never made it onto an LP, which was unfortunate, because it's a very good song. Still, its inclusion on this release is questionable. I think it would have made more sense to put it on the I Go To Pieces/True Love Ways combo CD, since it was recorded in THAT era.

Final verdict? Peter And Gordon are some of the finest musicians to have graced the 1960s with their musical abilities. If you're a fan of pop and/or rock from the sixties, give these guys a listen - I think you'll be glad you did.

First two of six classic albums.......2003-08-10

Peter and Gordon recorded six albums together in the mid-sixties. Collectables have released them all on three CD's, including as bonus tracks some singles that didn't appear on any of those original albums. This is the first pairing, containing the first and second of the six albums, with one bonus track (To show I love you). The songs are mainly soft, mid-tempo ballads. The major hits here are A world without love (number one in Britain and America), Nobody I know ( a top ten hit in Britain and a top twenty hit in America) and I don't want to see you again (a top twenty hit in America but a miss in Britain. Nevertheless, if you're thinking of buying this, it's the other tracks that you will be interested in, because you can buy a greatest hits collection if that's all you want..

Apart from the three major hits, this CD includes one minor American hit, To show I love you, written by Tony Hatch who made his name writing hits for Petula Clark. They wrote five original songs here (If I were you, You don't have to tell me, Love me baby, oft as the dawn, Leave me alone), which are enjoyable without being exceptional, rather like all the songs that they wrote for themselves.

There are several covers, as you expect on original sixties albums - these include Lucille (Little Richard), Leave my woman alone (Ray Charles), 500 miles, Tell me how, All my trials and Freight train. They are from a variety of sources, yet they are all made to fit Peter and Gordon's easy going style, which contrasts nicely with a lot of the other (more generally upbeat) pop music of the time.

The best Peter & Gordon album and a decent follow-up.......2003-05-24

Those of us who grew up on the music of the Fifties and Sixties have been waiting a long time for our favorite albums to be available on CD. One of the problems was that "long-playing" records back them had about 10 or 12 tracks and the songs were all about two or three minutes long so that an entire album lasted about a half-hour. The good news is that this problem has been dealt with by the companies reissuing these albums on CD in two nice ways: tacking on some bonus tracks to the end of the album and/or putting two albums on one CD. This pair of Peter & Gordon albums does both, although there is but a single bonus track.

"A World Without Love" is the title of both Peter & Gordon's biggest hit and their best album. The single, written by Lennon & McCartney, hit #1 on the pop charts in 1964. It was the first song from the British Invasion by a group other than the Beatles to reach the top of the charts. How did Peter Asher and Gordon Waller end up with an original song written by Paul McCartney? Because Paul was dating Linda Asher, sister of Peter. This explains why three other songs the Beatles never bothered to record made it on to Peter & Gordon albums as well. Two of those songs, "Nobody I Know" and "I Don't Want to See You Again," ended up on their 1965 follow-up album, which took the latter song as its title. Both of those songs cracked the Top 20. This pretty much explains the Peter & Gordon formula: record a Lennon & McCartney song, make it the title of your album, and sing like a Merseybeat version of the Everly Brothers. The results are not great, but certainly enjoyable.

"A World Without Love" and "I Don't Want to See You Again" makes a nice combination of Peter & Gordon albums. The collection of tracks is not as good as one of their greatest hits collections (which usually put the three Lennon & McCartney songs up front) because you are missing "Lady Godiva" and "Woman," a McCartney song written under a pseudonym. But if you like the Peter & Gordon sound and want to get beyond the hits this is an obvious choice for your music library.
