In recent years, Herman's Hermits have not been served well by CD releases. Things were much better in the early nineties when two volumes of their music, each containing 22 tracks, were released, each focusing on one period of their career. This, the first volume, covers the years from 1964 to 1966. Their American chart history was very different from their UK chart history but the extensive liner notes gives chart details for both. All UK hits and all USA top 40 hits are included. During the three years covered by this compilation, they were even more successful in America than in their homeland, though their success in the American singles charts did not last very long afterwards, as my review of the second volume makes clear. In the UK, many of their biggest hits came later.
Herman's Hermits began with I'm into something good (a cover of a song by Earl Jean of the Cookies), their only British number one hit, which also made the American top twenty. After that, single releases in Britain and America differed considerably. Six top ten American hits including two number ones were never released as UK singles, these being Can't you hear my heartbeat (a UK hit for Goldie and the gingerbreads), Mrs Brown you've got a lovely daughter, I'm Henry the eighth I am (an old music hall song), Listen people, Leaning on the lamp post (a cover of a George Formby song) and Dandy. Two UK singles - Show me girl, You won't be leaving - made the top twenty but were not released as singles in America.
Some singles were released in both countries, these being Silhouettes (a cover of a fifties song by The Rays), Wonderful world (a song that has also charted for both Sam Cooke and Louis Armstrong at different times), Just a little bit better and A must to avoid, This door swings both ways, No milk today and East west.
All the above hits are included along with several other interesting album tracks. They starred in a film, Hold on, and the title track is included here.
This compilation may now be hard to find now but, together with its equally elusive companion volume, remains the most comprehensive study of Herman's Hermits' music.

Rezension aus dem Vereinigten Königreich vom 16. Dezember 2017
If you take away the camp pop singles you dig a little further into a band who were much better than the music historians would have you believe and here is a decent collection of the first half of their career..if you like this then get Vol 2...

Excellent compilation with above par sound quality
Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 24. November 1998
This culminates my british invasion library. This version reflects excellent remastering and a joy to listen and reminisce the mid 60's. It is unfortunate that in the search of EMI vaults, additional stereo masters were not available or that incredibly so, Mickey Most (the producer)did not bother recording in Stereo well into the late 60's. Still, it is a pleasure to hear "A must to Avoid" and "Hold On" in Stereo. Highly recommended against the ABKCO product. You can "listen" a budding Jimmy Page and John paul Jones in the background.
