      Herman's Hermits - Both Sides of Herman's Hermits [EXTRA TRACKS]

      --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Artist: Herman's Hermits
      Album: Both Sides of Herman's Hermits [EXTRA TRACKS] [ORIGINAL RECORDIN
      Released: 1966 / 2001
      Repertoire (REP 4856)
      Genre: Rock, Pop, Sunshine


      This German CD is based on the group's second album in the UK, «Both Sides Of», and comes lavishly packaged with a gatefold digipak cover reproduction of the original album cover design, as well as a nice, informative booklet. The ten bonus tracks are mostly added from the US 1966 LP by the same title, but with a slightly different track listing - mostly remakes of old music hall and pub songs that were considered unsuitable for the UK market and never released there. All done very tongue-in-cheek of course, but the group feared that the songs might ruin their rock `n' roll image, and they were right! The most interesting numbers on this CD are an agressive version of Johnny Burnette's «Little Boy Sad», a fine rendition of the Bacharac-David classic «Story Of My Life», Graham Gouldman's «Bus Stop» - recorded before the Hollies' hit version, and the pleasant «Oo-ee-Baby», the latter never released in the US. «Kansas City Loving» from their «Introducing» LP is also here, for the first time in CD format, as well as the rocker, «Got A Feeling», from the «Hold On!» soundtrack, sounding oddly like the Yardbirds and rumoured to feature Jimmy Page on guitar - but it was the Hermits' own sadly overlooked guitarist, Lek Leckenby, who played lead on that track and is to be credited. This CD gives you exactly what the title indicates - both sides of Herman's Hermits! Enjoy, enjoy!
