5.0 out of 5 stars The stuff before they reached 'Paradise', 22 Jun 2002

By	"setnakht4" - See all my reviews

This CD is a bit of a rarity, a collection of their material prior to their time with Immediate Records, and for that reason alone it is worthy of inclusion in the collection of any Amen Corner and/or Andy Fairweather-Low fan. The music here, recorded in 1967 and 1968, is far more r'n'b than their 'If Paradise is Half as Nice' era material, and also features many 'classics', such as 'Love Me Tender' and 'Can't Get Used to Losing You'. It also contains their classic hits 'Bend Me, Shape Me', 'Gin House' and 'High in the Sky' (stalwarts of the 'Explosion' live album).

These songs are tight, disciplined and superb. Not as 'radical' as their Immediate stuff, but let's not forget that these guys were only just on their way and had their future ahead of them.

Buy it, crank it up loud and dance, just like they want you to!

5.0 out of 5 stars Before paradise was half as nice, 26 Sep 2002

By	Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews (#1 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Amen Corner are best remembered for their number one hit, If paradise was half as nice, which was recorded on the Immediate label. The recordings they made for Immediate have been repackaged many times, but their earlier Decca recordings were unavailable on CD before this was released, except for Bend me shape me, which can be found on 60's various artists compilations.

Andy Fairweather-Low, the lead singer, has a distinctive falsetto voice which is difficult to forget and it works just as well on these recordings, which have a definite R+B flavor, as it does on the music he recorded after leaving Decca.

These tracks were recorded in 1967 and 1968 and yielded three hits - Bend me shape me (a cover of an American hit for American Breed), Gin house blues and High in the sky, though the first of these is much better known in Britain than the other two. All three turn up on Immediate collections via live recordings, but I much prefer the original studio versions.

The set also includes great covers of Love me tender and Can't get used to losing you, which you certainly won't mistake for the originals - not just Andy's voice but the arrangements are very different.

I don't know how well Amen Corner did in America, but they were certainly one of the best British groups of the late sixties. For anybody interested in British pop/R+B music of the late sixties, the Amen Corner is worth investigating.
