5.0 out of 5 stars Great music from the fifties and sixties, 17 Jan 2004
By Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews
(#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Little Anthony and Imperials may not be widely remembered these days, but they recorded some great songs. This compilation contains all the tracks on the Rhino release plus seven others, but (unlike the Rhino CD) no liner notes.

In the UK, they hardly made any impact on the charts but two songs here became big UK hits for others. Yesterday has gone became a top five UK hit for Cupid's inspiration in 1968, though their version is very hard to find on CD (actually, that was why I bought this – I really wanted that song – but there is much else to enjoy here).

Tears on my pillow, which has been covered by several great singers including Reba McEntire, became a top ten UK hit for Kylie Minogue in the late eighties. (A reggae song with the same title topped the UK charts in the seventies for Johnny Nash – this is NOT the same song.)

Hurt was a minor American hit for Little Anthony, but Timi Yuro had the big hit with it. Since then, many others have covered it including Elvis Presley and Juice Newton. Another classic song is Goin' out of my head. You get the original version here, but the Zombies, the Lettermen, Petula Clark, Vikki Carr and Cilla Black are among those who have covered it, so you've probably heard this song somewhere. The Letterman also covered Hurt so bad, also a Little Anthony original to be found here, but the best-known cover of that song is by Linda Ronstadt.

This is a great compilation of music by an almost forgotten group. Thanks to all the cover versions, you might recognize at least a few of the songs even if you don't remember the original versions.

3.0 out of 5 stars great music, poor packaging, 14 Oct 2009
By The Wife (Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
Well, it's cheap, and the music's good, but the packaging of this CD (at least, the EMI Australia Edition I have) is unbelievably shoddy. The booklet is printed on flimsy paper, and the artwork, including the CD onbody, appears to have been (poorly) scanned from a different edition. If it weren't for the crisp barcode I would assume it was a bootleg. No liner notes either - very basic. Not the sort of CD that might encourage someone to buy it rather than downloading it...
