White Plains evolved from an earlier group, the Flower Pot Men. That group originally achieved success with Let's go to San Francisco (in 1967, of course) but a succession of line-up changes took their toll. Meanwhile, a group name that seemed ideal for 1967 really didn't seem relevant as the seventies approached. So the Flower Pot Men, with a very different line-up from the original 1967 group, became White Plains.
This compilation ignores the material recorded as the Flower Pot Men (available elsewhere) and focuses exclusively on the seventies music recorded using the White Plains moniker. Under that name, they released two albums in Britain as well as several singles. The first album, simply titled White Plains, contained twelve tracks and is reproduced here in its entirety, occupying the first twelve tracks of this compilation. That album was released in America, but given the title My baby loves lovin' (after the hit single, which made the top ten in Britain and number thirteen in America) and reduced to ten tracks. American album buyers were deprived of To love you and Young birds fly, though the latter track was released as the B-side of an American single that failed to chart. (The A-side, In a moment of madness, was taken from the album and is also included here.) In Britain, a different album track (I've got you on my mind) was released as the follow-up single and this made the top twenty.
The remainder of this compilation comprises twelve further A-sides, one of them only released in America, five only released in Britain and the other six in Both countries. Only three of these singles (Julie do ya love me, When you are a king, Step into a dream) charted in Britain and none charted in America. Unsurprisingly in these circumstances, the second album wasn't released in America.
The music here reflects the time in which it was recorded and is an excellent collection of its type. White Plains may never be more than a fgootnote in the annals of pop history, but if you enjoy light pop music of the early seventies, this five-member all-male group are definitely worth a listen.

A crackin' CD! Great harmonies, great ORIGINAL recordings and great down to earth tunes. Only 5 Top 30 UK hits to their credit but nevertheless all fine songs, my favourite being, "I've got you on my mind" from 1970.
What's also great about this album is the fact that all the 'B' sides feature too. If you like the Plains you'll love this, get it bought...NOW!

The White Plains were one of the most notable,if not short lived chart wonders of the early seventies.With a string of commercial chart successes behind them during what was a comparitively short frantic period of popularity,they left behind a legacy of remarkable hit singles all compiled here on this great collection.
Sadly,their short lived fame did'nt last,having faded into obscurity with the onset of the glam rock era in 1971.With their soaring harmonies & orchestrations,they where,at one point right up there with the likes of the Love Affair & Marmalade."My baby loves lovin" & "I've got you on my mind" are long forgotten gems from this period at a time when over the top pop orchestrations were all the rage.
"When you are a king" is one of their more sublime,(& last) hits from this period.Corny by todays standards of mediocre,repetitive chart fodder,this nonetheless,had a period charm all of its own which is remarkably simple,but very catchy in its own right.
The rest of this compilation covers basically all their recorded output for Deram.Unfortunately,some of the rest of the material lacks the commercial appeal of their hit singles,which might be considered as collection fillers by some die-hard fans.Hence the reason why i have held back from awarding the full five stars to this otherwise outstanding compilation.A worthy collection by a one time great band.
