If all you know about Herman's Hermits is that they had a couple of semi-novelty hits during the British Invasion with "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter" and "I'm Henry the VIII, I Am," RETROSPECTIVE aims to set you straight. Part of ABKCO producers Teri Landi and Jody Klein's grand plan to redress the balance of historical perspective on 1960s pop, this collection is a perfect overview of the band initially regarded as a safer version of the Beatles. While amiable, sunny pop is the dominant strain here, there are many tracks that further flesh out the group's profile. A version of Sam Cooke's "(What a) Wonderful World" points up the Hermits' soul leanings. The downright nasty "A Must to Avoid" and the witty, rocking "Museum" would sound right at home on a contemporaneous Beatles album. The Hermits' version of the Kinks' "Dandy" displays hipper tastes than many give Peter Noone and company credit for, and RETROSPECTIVE itself calls out for a 21st-century reappraisal of the band's catalog.

5 stars The Best of Herman's Hermits and more
If you are to have only one CD by the Herman's Hermits, this is the one you should have! All of the hits are here, plus a bit more. The quality of these recordings is just remarkable! After a few listens you will see why it will become one of you favorite CD's in your collection.

3 stars Best of the Least
Of all the British Invasion groups Herman's Hermits were perhaps the least substantial. Make no mistake: they were not much of a band and their songs, while popular then, do not get talked about much today. Still, this is clearly the best, and most comprehensive collection, of all their hits, big and small.

4 stars Great pop music 40 years later
For those of us who grew up in the 60's in Australia, Herman's Hermits was standard radio fare. There are some standout songs on this collection, which when you've had a few listens contains a large number of hits. While Herman's Hermits were never billed as a "super group" a la the Stones or Beatles they occupied centre stage for a significant period of time and their sound is pure entertainment... and if you listen carefully enough some pertinent social comment.

The 60s would not have been as great as it was had it not been for this group. What a wonderful CD. Truly something good!
