2 out of 5 stars +1/2 -- Late-90 remakes from great '60s British Invasion band.......2007-05-07

The British Invasion is littered with a surprising number of bands that failed to find a measure of fame to match their talent. The Tremeloes actually managed a pair of endearing U.S. harmony pop hits (covers of the Four Seasons' "Silence is Golden" and Cat Stevens' "Here Comes My Baby"), but only in 1967 as the UK was ceding ground to US sounds, and beat pop was transitioning to freakbeat and psychedelia.

The group showed amazing resiliency throughout its history, finding its greatest commercial success after the departure of their lead singer, Brian Poole, fashioning cover hits of The Beatles ("Hello Sunshine"), Cat Stevens ("Here Comes My Baby"), and a Four Seasons B-side ("Silence is Golden"). They continued to notch UK hits throughout the '60s, but at decade's end disavowed their pop history and released the self-written (and self-consciously "heavy") "Master" LP.

With their new direction a commercial flop, the band turned to the cabaret and oldies circuits where their earlier material still drew crowds. This mid-90s CD features re-recordings of their two biggest hits, both of which are competent but fail to capture the radio magic of the originals (themselves, widely reissued on British Invasion compilations and Tremeloes anthologies from Rhino, Castle and Sequel). Also included are other titles from throughout their post-Poole era, including the country "Hello Buddy" and the glam "You Can't Touch Sue."
