Product Description
Album Description
First Class were the brain child of John Carter (Ivy League/ Flowerpot Men), and scored a massive international hit in 1974 with the single ‘Beach Baby’.
Bob Stanley writes: "Beach Baby was possibly the fullest flowering of the John Carter Sound - constantly shape shifting, the harmonies, the strings, and more hooks than any four minute pop single should have by rights. John Peel raved about it in ‘Sounds’ and it was no.4 in the US in the summer of ‘74. In Britain it stalled at 11 but felt much bigger- it’s been a radio staple since"
This studio group, including luminaries such as Tony Burrows, Chas Mills, Spencer James (from the Searchers), and Clare Torry (of Pink Floyd fame), released two LP’s and recorded tracks for a third that remained unreleased. All continued in the vein described above of hook laden /harmony driven /string backed perfectly produced pop. All recorded 1974 -1977, plus a bonus track from 1985 when Carter recorded a throw back single for possible release in Holland when ‘Beach Baby’ became a reissued hit, that totally captures the ‘Beach Baby’ excitement and gives it the hi-production wall of sound.
With entertaining and informative notes are by Mojo writer Kieron Tyler - RPM are proud to present the definitive collection of First Class (including 7 previously unreleased tracks). This gorgeous collection is a must for any mainstream pop or "Guilty Pleasures" fan! This IS the summer sounds of the seventies...
