Surprising
Listening to this 2 CD set I was surprised not only at how many songs I remembered but how great many of them were.
If you're a British Invasion enthusiast you will enjoy this set.

superb two CD set by Herman's Hermits !!!
The Very Best of Herman's Hermits is a strong two CD set that gives us so many of the best from Herman's Hermits! They had a style all their own and their music is truly memorable. Yes, one could argue that there's a song or two missing; but this is still a rather comprehensive two CD set. The quality of the sound is great and the artwork is very nicely done.

"I'm Into Something Good" starts the first CD with one of their biggest hits--ever. Herman's Hermits really sings this well and the beat is catchy--the percussion also helps to mark the best. Herman's Hermits could really do a rock song great--and this proves it right from the start! "Show Me Girl" has a rock flavor that is so typical of the style of this group--catchy, well written and easily memorable. No wonder Herman's Hermits were so successful! In addition, there's also "Silhouettes;" Herman's Hermits do a wonderful cover of this `50s torch song and the guitar work is nothing short of excellent--I love it! "Can't You Hear My Heartbeat" was another huge hit for this group; and they sing this to perfection--and beyond! Herman's Hermits really delve into "Can't You Hear My Heartbeat" to make this another one of their best hits ever.

"Just A Little Bit Better" features the band front and center--great! They sing this so well; and they really outdo themselves on "A Must To Avoid." "A Must To Avoid" just plain sounds great and their sound is unforgettable. "No Milk Today" has great percussion and guitar work while Herman's Hermits sing this flawlessly. I love it! The modulations between major and minor keys really make "No Milk Today" a very good number. "There's A Kind Of Hush" is another excellent, timeless hit from Herman's Hermits; and it's definitely one of my very favorite tunes by this group. There's also "Just One Girl;" and this great tune ends the first CD really well.

The second CD continues the hits. "Something's Happening" is a very sweet song about falling in love with your one true love; and "Here Comes The Star" has fantastic key modulations to make this number shine brightly! I really like "Here Comes The Star." "Years May Come Years May Go" has a well written arrangement and Herman's Hermits sing and play this with panache--great! Herman's Hermits are squarely in the spotlight--right where they belong! "Searching For The Southern Sun" has a folk rock flavor mixed into the rock arrangement to make this number stand out as a major highlight of the second CD; and wow, how they sing this one out proud! "Leaning On A Lamp Post" is another very good number with lots of positive energy to it.

"I'm Henery The Eighth I Am" is another one of the greatest hits from Herman's Hermits--what a great rock tune! It still sounds so good even today all these years later. "Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter" is another unforgettable number; Herman's Hermits sing and play this with lots of feelings and I really like this tune. "Heartbeat" rocks really well; and Herman's Hermits do great on "Bus Stop." "Bus Stop" was another one of their very greatest hits; and there's no doubt as to why when you hear this famous ballad! The second CD also ends well with Herman's Hermits performing "London Look."

Overall, you get 56 wonderful tracks on this two CD set; and Herman's Hermits was one awesome group. Thank you, Herman's Hermits!

Will not order because of one song missing
I find it hard to believe that a collection of 56 songs on a total of 2 cd's doesn't include the song "East-West". I am dumb-founded. I know it's petty but I won't order this "collection" because of the lack of this song. What a shame.

Most Complete Hermits Hits!
I bought this 2 CD set to get all of Herman's Hermits many, many hits, and also all the B-sides. Plus, it has all the post-1967 latter day singles that were not hits in the USA. Even though I already had 2 other US greatest hits CD's, I still wanted this for all the additional songs.

All of their best songs, and I received them quickly.
I'm so impressed with this CD.
It's got all their greatest songs.
