QRadar Basic Training For Newcomers

Four CD set. While the recordings on Eddie Piller's latest release may be familiar to diehard fans of great '60s music, the story behind it will be new to many, but is well worth telling and hearing all the same. A lot of youngsters fell in love with the Mod lifestyle during the revival at the end of the '70s, but the more inquisitive ones like Eddie wanted to know more about the original fashions, the original influential figures, and most of all the original music. Step forward one Randy Cozens, eager to give the benefit of his advice. In those pre-internet days, his platform of choice was the letter pages of the weekly music press. His enthusiasm, his passion, and the sheer volume of missives he posted persuaded Sounds to commission Randy's guide to the music that was played in the all-nighter clubs in London's West End in those early '60s halcyon days.

A Golden Classics Edition Review by William Ruhlmann
In essence, Collectables Records' Gary Puckett & the Union Gap compilation A Golden Classics Edition is a two-fer CD combining the group's first two albums, named after its first two singles, Woman, Woman and Young Girl. But the addition at the end of the disc of the next five singles – "Lady Willpower," "Over You," "Don't Give in to Him," "This Girl Is a Woman Now," and "Let's Give Adam and Eve Another Chance" – makes this a more thorough best-of for the group, at a generous 76-minute running time. Gary Puckett & the Union Gap was very much a singles act; the first six of those seven singles, all of which reached the Top 15 and four of which went gold, are all most people know the band for. The full contents of the first two albums suggest that that is all the group should be known for, too. The albums are clearly afterthoughts thrown together to generate some LP sales tied into the hit singles.

Vocalist John Payne (ASIA) together with keyboardist Andy Nye (MSG) formed band "The Passion" at the end of the 80's. They start writing and recording songs in order to get a contract and release the group’s debut. But the twist of fate make that all these recordigs were shelved. Payne joins ASIA and Nye become songwriter for various artists/bands…

20 years later, all these songs see the light of day for the very first time. Glorious AOR melodies fullfilled with amazing keyboards and superb vocal arrangements. Featuring former Iron Maden’s drummer Clive Burr and Mike Oldfiled's guitarist Ant Glynne, the band sounds powerful, full of energy. A real trip back to the golden years!
