Peter & Gordon - Greatest Hits [CEMA Special Markets]
In many respects, this relatively condensed package contains everything you need by the duo that's been called "the Everly Brothers of the British Invasion," including all the American hits--from the four that Paul McCartney wrote for them (you see, Peter Asher's actress sister, Jane, was Macca's steady gal for years) to the Buddy Holly cover, their take on Del Shannon's timeless "I Go to Pieces," and their foray into music-hall schtick via "Lady Godiva" and "Knight in Rusty Armor." Rhino's "best of" has 10 additional tracks--including the duo's self-penned nonhits--but that may be for completists only.--Bill Holdship
