5.0 out of 5 stars 25 REASONS TO GET THIS FOUNDATIONS COMPILATION, 23 Jul 2002
Because money is an issue we can't always have all the albums we would like to have,so we sometimes pass up on something we would like in favour of another one. This compilation of the Foundations is one that I am glad of not passing up on. I do have another Foundations compilation with their hits etc,and what I thought were similar titles. What makes this CD so worthwhile apart from the Foundations being a great band is the inclusion of some rarities and alternate versions,that previously have not been together on the one compilation. Besides their hits like," Baby Now That I've Found You" and "Build Me Up Buttercup", there are some real gems on here.Great treatment is given to Joe Tex's "Show Me" and Rufus Thomas's "Walkin The Dog".Then there are the alternate versions of "We Are Happy People","Tomorrow","Am I Groovin you" and "Harlem Shuffle" with their second lead singer Colin Young,Clem Curtis's replacement on vocals.There are Three live tracks which include an instrumental version of the "Look Of Love",with Pat Burke on flute and the band proving that they really could play!.The real icing on the cake is the inclusion of four glorious tracks from Clem Curtis's early 70s solo career. This is the first time ever that they have been on CD !.His version of "I've Never Found A Girl"(To Love Me Like You Do) and "Point Of No Return" belongs up there with the best of early 70s R&B,then there is "Mountain over The Hill",which is in a similar vein to "Blame It On The Pony Express" by Johnny Johnson and His Bandwagon, probably due to Clem Curtis joining the Bandwagons ranks for a while in the early 70s.The album finishes off with Clem doing a cruisy "Time Alone Will Tell",which at first seems nice,but its one of those songs that seem to grow on you each time you hear it.So if you are into Good music from the 60s then get it.And it is a must for any serious collector of British Soul Music. And there are 25 great examples of a unique British R&B Band at work. P

5.0 out of 5 stars A couple of pop classics, 2 Mar 2005
By Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews
(#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
So many singers and groups are remembered for just one song. The Foundations, whose music was at the R+B end of the pop spectrum, fared slightly better as they had two major international hits.

Baby now that I've found you, their debut single, topped the British chart in November 1967 and just failed to make the American top ten. It has a really bouncy tune that hides the sadness of the lyrics. In the mid-nineties, Alison Krauss gave the song a completely different interpretation, slowing the song right down. Both versions are highly enjoyable in their different ways.

Build me up buttercup, another upbeat tune but this time with upbeat lyrics, peaked at number two in Britain but topped the American charts. This song was originally intended for the Paper Dolls, but a mix-up meant that they did not turn up to record it at the scheduled time, so the song was given to the Foundations instead.

The Foundations had a few other hits. In the bad bad old days was a top ten UK hit, while Back on my feet again made the UK top twenty. Two other songs, Any old time and Born to live born to die, were minor UK hits while My little chickadee (not included here) was a minor American hit.

The rest of this CD includes covers of Call me (first recorded by Petula Clark, but a hit for Chris Montez), Show me (Joe Tex), That same old feeling (Pickettywitch), Harlem Shuffle (Bob and Earl) and Let the heartaches begin (Long John Baldry) as well as several failed singles and other songs.

This contains all the essentials and much else besides.
