Hardly a blip on the vinyl, great condition. The cover is very slightly marked in places and creased along the spine, but fully legible

OK, so we know we aren’t going to get any timeless classics on here. This is purely nostalgia. Probably one of the first manufactured bands, of which there have been many over the years. This is pure unadulterated pop of the mid-sixties. The epitome of clean living American boys, unclouded by the hazy smoke of the Californian music scene, what you get here is what your mum and dad wanted you to hear as you watched TV in the late sixties.

And actually there are a few really good tracks. Certainly, ‘A little bit me, a little bit you’ which closes Side A wouldn’t be out of place anywhere. And whilst I recall the theme track booming out of a tiny ‘tranny’ back in the day, when listened to on some decent kit there is a simplicity to it that is really nice.

But, all in all, a nostalgic visit and I challenge you not to sing along to ‘I’m a Believer’ when you drop the needle in place. Magic stuff from a long lost age. Timeless.
