Digitally remastered by Bill Inglot & Ken Perry (K-Disc, Los Angeles, California).
Perhaps only Simon & Garfunkel can compare to the beautiful tenor duo of Phil and Don Everly. A cogent mix of pop, early rock & roll, and Hank Williams-influenced country twang, the music of the Everly Brothers dominated the airwaves in the late 1950s with hits such as "Bye Bye Love," "Wake Up, Little Susie," "Bird Dog," and the wistful "All I Have to Do Is Dream." (The latter being one of the most enchanting songs in pop history.)
Overall, this collection represents an innocent, yet indelible, time for pop music, and the Everly Brothers' infectious hooks and refined vocal harmonies wonderfully characterize this era. Always melodic and hopelessly romantic, their songs, including "Devoted to You" and the gorgeous 12/8 ballad "Love of My Life," stand in stark contrast to the beat-oriented eroticism of modern chart-toppers. Roy Orbison's rocker "Claudette" and the folksy "I'm Here to Get My Baby Out of Jail" round out this magnificent 20-song set.
The Everly Brothers: Don Everly, Phil Everly.
Compilation producers: Bill Inglot, Gary Stewart.

Recorded between 1969 & 1971. Includes liner notes by Shaun Stallard.
One of England's prime jazz-rock -- or, more accurately, rock-jazz -- outfits, most of the members of Colossuem had apprenticed in blues bands, and it shows very strongly on some of the material here. Both "The Kettle" and "Butty's Blues" are essentially tarted-up 12-bar blues, although they work well in a grander context; in the latter case much grander, as a brass ensemble enters for the last part, drowning out everything but the guitar, an indication that this recording is in dire need of remastering. "Elegy" is a fast-paced, minor-key blues that stretches guitarist James Litherland's vocal abilities. Things do get far more interesting with "The Machine Demands a Sacrifice," which offers solo opportunities to organist Dave Greenslade and sax player Dick Heckstall-Smith before re-emerging in what can only be called a proto-industrial style, all heavily treated clattering percussion. The album's real joy comes with "The Valentyne Suite," which takes the band out of their bluesy comfort zone into something closer to prog rock. Bandleader Jon Hiseman is a stalwart throughout, his busy drumming and fills owing far more to jazz than the studied backbeat of rock. Greenslade proves to be a largely unsung hero, his only real solo in the suite something to offer a challenge to vintage Keith Emerson, but with swing. As to criticism, bassist Tony Reeves has very little flow to his playing, which severely hampers a rhythm section that needs to be loose-limbed, and Litherland's guitar playing is formulaic, which can be fine for rock, but once outside the most straightforward parameters, he seems lost. In retrospect this might not quite the classic it seemed at the time, but it remains listenable, and for much of the time, extremely enjoyable. ~ Chris Nickson
