Album Description

The Redcoats were formed in 1965 when John Spirit, who had a #16 hit in 1963 with 'Martian Hop', met Atlantic City brothers Zack and Randy Bocelle. The Bocelle's sounded much like John's idols, The Beatles, and John was up to the task of writing songs that were very evocative of the works of John and Paul. Listen to 'You Had No Right' and hear the influence of 'Help'. But, the band broke up the album was never released and the master tapes sat for 35 years, until now. 12 tracks. 2001 release.

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Redcoats - 'Meet The Redcoats:Finally' (Bacchus Archives).......2005-01-12

The Redcoats were a short-lived band made up of three musicians that cut a collection of twelve tracks that apparently never got to see the light of day,for these songs were recording in 1967.So,some 35 years later,this CD is the first time anyone outside the group ever had the chance to check them out for themselves.Actually,'Meet The Redcoats' isn't bad at all.A couple of the tunes I enjoyed hearing was the could've been a hit(in my opinion)"You Had No Right","When Tomorrow Comes",the Merseybeat-ish "Back To His Door" and "Baby Don't Go".Notice the band has had one major influence,THE BEATLES!Hey,these guys are alright.Should appeal to fans of the Fab Four,Dave Clark Five,Searchers and the Easybeats.Some decent music that you've never heard.

3 out of 5 stars Good to see on CD!.......2002-06-13

This release has its ups & downs. First, it includes rare & unreleased material of this GREAT group, thumbs up for someone even attempting to release this.

The thumbs down is that even though much of the material is off vinyl, it is poorly restored with a poor EQ job & audible clicks & pops in it.

The liner notes fail to mention who the band later became, in which they recorded a full LP for RCA as "The Sidekicks". Though this compilation puts it down, I think their Sidekicks material is great, and that is why I bought THIS CD. I honestly think The Sidekicks LP is stronger material, though a few standout tracks here are definitely worth putting this CD in your collection.
