Most of you may have already heard this hard-luck-story-of-an-album, but, what an album!
Just goes to show that random p2p downloading does have it's benefits. I'll type in 60's or 70's and try things
I've never heard. Just put them on my iPod and hit shuffle and when something hits me I see what/who it is
and I buy it. I heard "(Call Me) Number One" and "Me and My Life" and immediately found
out all I could about the Tremeloes. This is the album that gave them cred, and killed them. I should say they
killed themselves, apparently. They basically gave the press a field day telling them that all the music they
made up until "Master" was shite and written for idiots. I'm not kidding. True though it may be this album
should be heard by every Auditier. There's a couple songs that don't work for me, a psychedelic instrumental
and an Elvis tribute-type song. Good song, it's just sung Elvis-style. Odd. The bonus tracks include on of the
songs I first heard and loved, so that was truly a bonus(Call Me Number One).
Coming off like the Kinks meet the Beatles and the Sweet via Badfinger, I really cannot
give this a higher "Brodeen-ism" than "Extremely, Highly Recommended".
There's 11 songs on the proper album and w/the bonus tracks there are 23 songs.
I'd say it's well worth the investment.
