• Track Listing

There have been other Tremeloes comps, but this new set is their definitive anthology, boasting every note recorded during their halcyon days at CBS. You get big hits by the beloved British pop-rockers plus prized psych-rock B-sides, overlooked album cuts, alternate versions, outtakes, a live cabaret album and the first full release of the complete sessions for the 1970 cult film "May Morning." That’s 165 tracks (some mono, some stereo), and you also get a 32-page booklet with a 5000-word essay and rare photos of the band in their youthful glory. Their U.S. hits "Here Comes My Baby," "Silence Is Golden," "Even the Bad Times Are Good" and "Suddenly You Love Me" join their UK hits "Be Mine," "Helule Helule," "My Little Lady," "I Shall Be Released," "Hello World," "(Call Me) Number One," "By the Way," "Me and My Life" and "Hello Buddy." Italian-language versions of "Hello World" and "Silence Is Golden" and the Spanish-language version of "Yellow River" are here, too, plus two stereo versions of "Even the Bad Times Are Good" and "Sing Sorta Swingle," late-’60s tracks that weren’t originally issued ("On Love," "Every Little Bit Hurts," "Sadness of Tomorrow"), 1968 singles issued in Germany ("I’m Gonna Try"), Israel ("I Will See You There") and Argentina ("En Tu Mundo"), "Live in Cabaret" versions of "My Little Lady," "Proud Mary," "FBI," "Good Times," the "May Morning" rarities "Hard Time," "Anything"…over seven hours of music!
