"British Invaders"
This CD doesn't miss the mark. Has all of their hits. If you're a baby boomer growing up in the sixties, songs will hit home. Underrated pop group with a vast number of great songs. Recommended. EH

Herman's Hermits Greatest
Great songs by a great group from the '60's. Quite a range from teenybopper pop to ballads and humorous little ditties. The vocals are spot on and the feeling appropriate for each composition. IMHO the best collection of their hits I could find for the money.

Hermans greatest - not so great!
I needed one more dollar for free shipping - so i thought - I always liked Herman's Hermits - how bad could it be? Bad isn't the word! The recording quality was poor - and the songs were not their greatest - most forgetable - wish I had paid the shipping - I will not listen to it again - very poor.

Nothing weighty and meaningful--just clean fun
Herman's Hermits were always much more pop and less serious than British Invasion contemporaries like the Beatles, but that doesn't prevent this from being a thoroughly enjoyable collection of music. None of their singles were original material and producer Mickie Most sometimes enlisted session musicians to play on their records. Nonetheless the band was musically competent, as revealed by existing live film footage, and the overall result was satisfying.

With lead singer Peter Noone at the forefront, Herman's Hermits logged well over a dozen top 40 hits from late 1964 to early 1967--many of them landing in the top 10. This CD is filled with music from that period. It was geared to top 40 radio, so all the songs are brief, catchy and very listenable. The longest track, the masterfully arranged "End of the World," clocks in at just 3:02. There are no hidden messages here, nothing weighty and meaningful--just clean fun.

From the cockney-inflected "Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter" to the pensive and beautiful "Listen People," this CD will have you humming along in no time. It's hard to resist tapping your toes to songs like "Silhouettes," "Dandy," "Wonderful World" and "Just a Little Bit Better." There really isn't a weak track on the CD, though I've always felt the arrangement on "This Door Swings Both Ways" could have been much better. While not musical heavyweights by any means, neither should there be "A Kind of Hush" about Herman's Hermits. They deserve more appreciation than that.

I recommend this CD to anyone interested in Herman's Hermits in particular or the mid-60s British Invasion generally.

What I was looking for
I came to Amazon because I was buying CD's from stores and reading the covers I thought I was getting the music from the original artist. Most of the time they were knock offs. I havn't had that problem at Amazon.
