5.0 out of 5 stars Everything they ever recorded as the Ivy League, 19 Aug 2003
By Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews
(#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This obscure sixties group burst onto the scene in 1965, when it seemed that they might become major stars, but it was not to be. Songwriters John Carter and Ken Lewis had previously made records as Carter Lewis and the Southerners (outside the scope of this collection), but it was not until they became the Ivy League, replacing the Southerners with Perry Ford, that things began to happen for them.

Their first single, What more do you want, attracted a certain amount of attention but didn’t make the charts. However, their second, Funny how love can be, was a UK hit, peaking at number 8. Its B-side, Lonely room, was also of a high quality and the group wishes they’d saved it to be the follow-up. The actual follow-up, That’s why I’m crying, just made the UK top 20. This was followed by Tossing and turning, which reached number 3 in the UK and also charted in the USA. It was to be their only American hit and was also their biggest UK hit.

Next came the minor hit Our love is slipping away, followed by a 4-track EP of Christmas songs. Their first single of 1966, Running round in circles, failed to chart, while their next, Willow charts, only just avoided the same fate. After that, the group became subject to line-up changes but they continued to release singles. None of them charted.

Meanwhile, they recorded two albums, only one of which was ever released. Whereas their singles were all self-penned, they included cover versions on their albums. On this collection, all the A and B sides are on CD 1, while the album tracks and the Christmas EP are on CD 2.

With only two top 10 UK hits and only one minor American hits, The Ivy League cannot be regarded as essential, but they were a brilliant harmony trio. If you enjoy the Tremeloes or the Four seasons, you will enjoy the Ivy League.

5.0 out of 5 stars As good Live as on Disc, 20 Jun 2005
By Joseph Gaffney "spiritwolf1953" (West London UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Hi, I have just got back from a holiday in Hastings. Lucky me.
Guess who I saw live?? Yes you got it.
They were fabulous. First thing I did on my return was to order this CD. Great Musicians and incredible live performance.
I do not understand how they did not have more chart success.
The fun and enjoyment of there music was there for all to see and hear. Getting Older but no less Spirited than in their youth.
Buy This CD and Feel Happy!!
