Free Music Review: Two-fer of mid-60s UK vocal group's albums + bonus cuts
Hit: 3 Stars
This six-piece was one of several UK vocal groups whose blues-tinged folk-styled harmonies grew out of the British skiffle sound and the American folk-revival. Their earliest work (including their debut single "Cotton Fields" and a cover of "500 Miles") applied their smooth, multipart harmonies to standards that were blossoming in Greenwich Village. By their second single, "Sorrow and Pain," the rhythms were more sophisticated, and their third single, "Concrete and Clay" became the group's commercial high water mark. The single's bossa nova beat and Spanish-styled acoustic guitar runs were memorable then, and still sound unique to this day.
The band tried their hand at soul and gospel sides, a bit like the Box Tops, and as the '60s progressed they dabbled in organ-driven psychedelia with "3.30" and electrified their folk roots with a cover of Bob Dylan's "You Ain't Going Nowhere." Try as they might, they couldn't duplicate the success of "Concrete and Clay" (even when they recorded the knock-off "Baby Never Say Goodbye"), and never developed a commercial identity distinct from the hit. Their recorded legacy, represented here by a pair of albums and six bonus tracks, shows Unit 4 + 2 to be a talented group who simply didn't have the material or spark of others then on the scene.
Repertoire's 1993 29-track collection pulls together both albums released by the group on Decca, plus six bonus tracks - all in mono. The same label has recently dropped a 30-track compilation that focuses on the band's singles and includes the latter-day "I Was Only Playing Games," among other tracks missed here. With so many other UK vocal groups' catalogs available (Searchers, Gerry & The Pacemakers, Zombies, The Ivy League, et al), this isn't a necessity, but if you loved "Concrete and Clay," there's more to hear from Unit 4 +2.
