Free Music Notes for The British Invasion Box
Free Music Review: Both Sides of the Pond
Hit: 4 Stars
The British Invasion Box is actually two out-of-print (at least currently) compilations which were once available separately from the Varese Sarabande label. Now they're just housed together in a tidy little cardboard slipcase. The set contains 25 HITS FROM THE BRITISH INVASION and THE AMERICAN ROOTS OF THE BRITISH INVASION. I bought it for the latter but was pleased to find that the first disc contains many songs from the era that I didn't already have on other similar compilations (such as Sanctuary's THE BRITISH ARE COMING and Universals' BRITISH INVASION GOLD). It sports nicely mastered versions of "Itchycoo Park," "Friday on my Mind," "Out of Time," none which are very easy to find elsewhere.
But the real draw is the second disc, a whole CD filled with the original American versions of songs that were later covered by British Invasion artists. I just wanted Bessie Banks' version of "Go Now," but I ended up with a lot more. Several tracks "became" Beatles' songs, and one become the Hollies' definitive power pop statement: "I Can't Let Go," sung here by Evie Sands.
The bottom line is easy: If you like the music of the this time period, this "box" is a safe bet for the collector and the novice alike.
