There are a lot of bad compilations of the Hermits. This album - "Their Greatest Hits" & "Retrospective" both appear to contain the original recordings. I compared the tracks with tracks from some of my old albums and singles and they appear to be spot on.
that is NOT Peter Noone singing all those great hits.Avoid this cd - it's some remake using a picture of Peter to con you.
I've listened to Hermans Hermits for many years and know their songs intimately. None of these versions sound like the original Herman's Hermits, certainly not like Peter Noone. I would check out the authenticity of this CD--the only thing I can think of is that this is a later reincarnation of the Hermits that re-recorded their hits.
Unless I'm very much mistaken there are a few songs on this collection, most noticeably "Henry VIII I Am", that aren't the original versions. Listen for yourself and purchase at your own risk.
I assume that most people who consider buying this album are doing so because they remember Herman's Hermits from the 1960s, remember their hits ("Mrs. I'll be deleting these horrible versions of these great songs from my own music library. I suppose I should have done a thorough search before buying this album and discovered that Herman's Hermits isn't always Herman's Hermits.
but they're not the Herman's Hermits you'll recall from the 1960s. Herman's Hermits is Herman's Hermits, right.Wrong. Brown", "Silhouettes" and others) and their sound.The singers on this album sing all of Herman's Hermits hits.
But I didn't think of it, and you probably wouldn't think of it either. Peter Noone's distinctive lead voice is missing from these songs. I guess this album is some sort of re-constituted Herman's Hermits.
Caveat emptor. A waste of money.
