Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
As the line in the opening track "The Peanut Vendor" says: "Fifty million monkeys can't be wrong." And back in 1971 the buyers of this debut LP (originally The King's Singers: By Appointment) found overwhelming proof in its vinyl grooves that a refreshingly new quality product was on the market. Soon the unlikely lads (Nigel Perrin, Alastair Hume, Alastair Thompson, Anthony Holt, Simon Carrington and Brian Kay) were all over our television screens in the company of the likes of Val Doonican, Shirley Bassey and Nana Mouskouri--also, of course, performing bucketloads of serious repertoire in concerts. For those who rushed to buy the original, this re-release is a real trip down memory lane, the excellent sound enhanced by the extra detail and colour in the CD transfer (though, please note, there is less than 35 minutes of music). "Cherry Ripe", "Scarborough Fair", Bacharach's "Wives and Lovers" and lots more, performed with that familiar mix of vocal perfection and effortless poise, complemented by the discreet contribution of the Gordon Langford Trio. The annoying thing nonetheless is that such dazzling accomplishment was in the long run subject to mere fashion, at least in the UK. The current King's Singers dazzle just the same, but they are more to be seen on foreign TV screens than ever at home. Shame! --Andrew Green
