4 out of 5 stars Fine Debut Album........2006-09-18

The Beau Brummmels' 1965 debut-album contains to band two biggest hit-singles "Laugh Laugh" and "Just a Little" both of which are still great listening. Their early music was greatly inspired by the Beatles but also by some of their American contemporaries like the Lovin Spoonful. In fact one of their other 1965 singles "Good Time Music" was written by John Sebastian of the Lovin Spoonful. Great to find this fine song among the bonus-tracks.

The music on the original album was mostly written by guitarist Ron Elliott, and he was obviously a fine songwriter. Besides the two hits, catchy songs like "Stick Like Glue" and "Not Too Long Ago" stand out. Also their cover of "Oh, Lonesome Me" is fine - sounds a little like the Everly Brothers.

Occasionally their vocal harmonies sound a little odd - especially on a couple of the bonus-tracks which are mostly demos or weaker versions of the album-tracks. On the other hand besides "Good Time Music" some of the bonus-tracks are actually quite good. Ellitt's "Gentle Wandering Ways" and "I'll Tell You" are fine recordings - also lead-singer Sal Valentino's "It's So Nice" is good.

Nice 8-pages booklet with a fine biography witten by Chris Welch.

4 out of 5 stars Beau Brummels - 'Introducing The.....' (Sundazed).......2004-09-28

'Introducing...' was the band's first lp as it USUALLY is great to always here a band's(any band's)for that matter very first effort.Originally released in 1965.Two bonus tracks are added on.It's been SO long since I've heard any music from the San Francisco five piece.Beau Brummels had managed to benefit from creating their own brand of harmless good-natured laid back pop.Heck,I think my own parents would even get something out of this reissue.The Brummels have much to offer the listener in the way of employing somewhat rich melodies and soaring harmonies in the making of their music.Key tracks include "Laugh,Laugh","Just A Little","Oh Lonesome Me" and the rocking "That's If You Want Me".Should appeal to fans of the Byrds,Lovin' Spoonful,the Monkees,Grass Roots and the Searchers.

5 out of 5 stars "Laugh Laugh" Best 60's Ballad Not Written by Roy Orbison!.......2004-08-17

The Beau Brummels remind you alot of several 60's super groups (The Byrds, The Left Bank, The Young Rascals, The Turtles, The Lovin Spoonful, Moby Grape), quietly forgotten, that made a dent in the universe and then wafted into thin air..The 60's were heady times, and groups came and went, in and out of fashion, like corded bell bottoms, purple velour, and spice candles..I rate the Beau Brummels as an organ backboned San Fran group, with qualities akin to The Doors..They hit the charts big-time with "Laugh Laugh", and "Just a Little"..Two of the best ballads of all time, not written by either Roy Orbison, or Bruce Springsteen..This CD is worth owning for the play of "Laugh Laugh" alone..Possibly one of the greatest "break-up" anthems of all time..The problem with the Beau Brummels was their commercial shelf life was all too brief..The unfortunate infighting that crops up in super groups, just killed more prolific output from a group that had the "right stuff" to become "Beatlesque" in stature..Both Chicago, and Blood Sweat and Tears owe an allegiance to the Beau Brummel's vocalizations..They, the Beau Brummels, flashed brilliantly and then poof, vanished, out of sight but not out of earshot, their legacy remains..Buy the CD..It's "Laugh Laugh", no joke!..Very stylish..Very collectible..And much like the Left Bank..Remember "Pretty Ballerina", and "Walk Away, Renee"..The Beau Brummels came as close as any American group to ferrying the Mersey Beat of Liverpool onto the fertile shores of San Francisco and Fillmore West.."Just a Little", they did, that is!

4 out of 5 stars I thought I'd die.......2003-10-03

This is the debut album of the semi-legendary pop group. It contains their two major hits, "Laugh Laugh" and "Just a Little". Of course, these songs are great, but there are some other good songs here too. "Still in Love With You Baby" is the best of the "other" songs here. It's great and deserved to be a hit in it's own right. Guitarist Ron Elliott wrote 10 of the 12 songs on the album, most of which are very good. Amazingly enough, in the liner notes he says he didn't even particularly like rock music! Well, for someone who didn't like rock music, he was pretty good at writing rock songs. Fans of 60s pop rock should enjoy this CD.
