Import only collection from the British '60s Beat combo. With the very successful writing team of Ken Howard and Alan Blaikley providing the words and - most importantly - the hooks ,the-quintet-with-the-very-long-name was really big on the mid-60's British charts. From 1965 to 1969, it was difficult to listen to British radio without hearing one of their singles. Behind the big arrangements, the individual member's contributions were hard to assess. Therefore, the band members were a bit faceless. However, to the public, the songs spoke for themselves and sold by the truckload. These songs have managed to stay imbedded in the minds of everybody who heard them at the time. Although huge in Continental Europe, and in other countries around the world, they only achieved a small hit in the U.S. Includes their 13 Top 30 British hit singles, the non charting single "No Time" and the post-Dave Dee "Mr. President", which reached #33 in the UK as well as some B-sides. 18 tracks.
