I compared the tracks with tracks from some of my old albums and singles and they appear to be spot on. There are a lot of bad compilations of the Hermits. This album - "Their Greatest Hits" & "Retrospective" both appear to contain the original recordings.
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 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. 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.
Listen for yourself and purchase at your own risk. 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.
Peter Noone's distinctive lead voice is missing from these songs. Caveat emptor. 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. I'll be deleting these horrible versions of these great songs from my own music library. Herman's Hermits is Herman's Hermits, right.Wrong.
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 suppose I should have done a thorough search before buying this album and discovered that Herman's Hermits isn't always Herman's Hermits. A waste of money.
but they're not the Herman's Hermits you'll recall from the 1960s. I guess this album is some sort of re-constituted Herman's Hermits.
