Customer Review Great British Invasion Value! Similar to The Beatles early releases, these LP's were a patchwork of various British singles, EP's and album cuts. This CD includes the first two of the group's albums on Laurie Records in America. Because of this, the selections on the American albums were never in the chronological order in which they were recorded and slight variances in sound and stereo separation are noticeable. However, the sound quality is very good considering the age. Unlike the original Laurie albums, 17 of the 23 recordings on this CD are in true stereo. Nothing is re-channeled. Selections 3, 10, 11, 14, 19 & 22 are mono. Produced by EMI/Capitol Special Markets. Somewhat cheesy packaging and artwork by Collectables. All in all, a good package. For anyone who thinks this group was only known for their pop songs and ballads, these guys could rock. Check out "Don't You Ever", "Slow Down", and "A Shot of Rhythm and Blues". Hopefully, we will some day see the release of the group's remaining Laurie albums, "I'll Be There" and "Girl On A Swing" along with the G&P selections from the "Ferry Cross The Mersey" soundtrack on United Artists as bonus tracks. . .
