Tremeloes - The Complete CBS Recordings 1966-72 (Clamshell Edition) [Audio CD]

There have, of course, been one or two Tremeloes compilations before. However, The Complete CBS Recordings 1966-72 is unquestionably THE definitive anthology of one of the most successful British pop groups of the late Sixties. Doing exactly what it says on the tin (okay, clamshell box), this 6-CD release features every note of the band’s recordings during their halcyon days with CBS. Huge hit singles (‘Here Comes My Baby’, ‘Even The Bad Times Are Good’, ‘Silence Is Golden’, ‘(Call Me) Number One’ etc) highly-regarded psych-pop B-sides, criminally overlooked album tracks, alternative versions, outtakes, foreign language recordings, a live cabaret album and even the first-ever full release of the complete sessions for the 1970 cult movie ‘May Morning’, The Complete CBS Recordings gathers everything under one roof for the first – and, almost certainly, the last – time. Featuring no less than 165 tracks in mono, full fat stereo and even electronically-processed stereo (the way the band’s mono-only early recordings were heard at the time in more stereo-oriented countries such as the USA), The Complete CBS Recordings is an essential purchase for both the band’s numerous fans and admirers of late Sixties/early Seventies British pop in general. Containing over seven hours of music across six CDs, this stunning package includes a lavish 32-page booklet with a new 5000 word essay on the band’s career, numerous band quotes and a huge number of extremely rare photos of the band in their youthful prime.
