The Peddlers started making music together in 1964. Like many people I know, when growing up as a teenager in the 1980s/90s I wouldn't have listened to anything that was produced in the 1960s or 70s. But now mellowing with old age, I'm beginning to appreciate a wider variety of music.
I bought this CD by chance after hearing their superb cover version of My Funny Valentine (part of the Live at the Pickwick CD, which sadly doesn't seem to be available anymore...).
Suite London was recorded in the early 70s with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
Imagine the kind of music Zero 7 would have produced if they had been about in the 1960s/70s (with only Mozez on vocal duties), and you won't be far wrong.
Indeed, Zero 7 covered The Peddlers track "I Have Seen" on their debut album Simple Things.
This CD is worth the money if only to hear how that track originally sounded. I would certainly recommend this to anyone who likes laid back jazzy, funky sounds.

I just about remember The Peddlers first time around and got to appreciate them through my father's copy of their superb Fantastic Peddlers LP on Pickwick (now when's that coming out on CD?).
However, anyone expecting their usual soulful interpretations of other's songs will be in for a shock with The London Suite, which is all their own work and so much the better for it.
As a London resident of many years, I cannot think of any other record that captures the atmosphere of London so completely, combining elements of jazz, blues and orchestral music to such stunning effect.
Listen without prejudice-you will not be disappointed !

Im afraid that i was not to taken with this cd, it is well worth the money but to me if you think you want to get a peddlers cd try "how cool is cool"
Mind you im glad i have it in my collection.

Collaberation with the Philarmonic works well but i preffer the basic jazz sound of ThePeddlers. Try The Fantastic Peddlers, thats a great album

I was brought up on the Peddlers, and had a cassette tape of this album for years, which eventually got lost, so to acquire the CD was great! I'd forgotten how far ahead of their time they were, and I suspect that this was the reason they were a bit of a 'cult' band in their time. I lived in London at one time, and this album awakened lots of memories. I think that this was one of the first collaborations between commercial music and the classical genre - quite adventurous!

The Peddlers are an amazing act. It is the originality that they exuded that set them apart as the most different act of the 1960`s. I cannot really add any superlatives than those given by others but this album is different to their How Cool is Cool album [CBS Anthology] This one includes some bonus tracks and the single Have You Ever Been To Georgia. This is great listening but if you want a more comprehensive look at their work listen to Cool first and then move on to this one.

Great to have CD's of them. Takes me back a lot of years to some good music. Possibly the first time I had heard an organ within a group for modern music.
