① is a British beat group that debuted in 1963 and had a No. 1 hit in the US with "Game of Love." However, at the end of 1965, Wayne Fontana turned to solo singing, but the remaining three members of the group had another hit the following year with "Glory Kind of Love," which reached No. 2 in the US and the UK. In Japan, the band had a pop sensibility, with the hit "Um Um Um" covered in Japanese by the GS Carnabeats. Lead guitarist Eric Stewart formed 10CC with Graham Goldman, who joined the band in 1968, and left behind many hits including "I'm in Love". Graham Goldman was a composer who had written many songs for the Yardbirds, Herman's Hermits, and the Hollies before joining the Mindbenders, and also wrote "School Girl" and "Pamela Pamela" (included on this CD) for the Mindbenders and Wayne Fontana.
② is a band from Manchester led by Peter Noone, who was second only to the Beatles in popularity in the United States. For some reason, they are split into two CDs, even though they should have been made into a double CD. They fit better as a pop group than a rock band. Graham Goldman and Noone were close friends, and Herman's Hermits are the only bands to have written more than 10 songs for him (5 of them are included on this 2CD). Incidentally, the Hollies' "Bus Stop" was originally written for Herman's Hermits. "There's a Kind of Hush," covered by the Carpenters in the 70s, is also a Herman's classic. "I'm Henery the Eight I Am" was the theme song for Pee by the Tigers.
Mi-Ke, which included Keiko Utoku, who was active in the 90s, recorded a medley of six Herman's Hermits songs in their 1993 album "Eternal Liverpool Sound." It's as good as other albums like "Bus Stop" and "For Your Love." If you're interested, please look for it.
The spine on both sides of ② has been cut out and is missing. I am listing these items to clear out my inventory, but unfortunately I will not be selling them separately. Please purchase them as a set of 3. They have been carefully stored, and although the discs are in good condition, they have been stored for a long time, so please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive about such things. No claims or returns will be accepted. I will do my best to ship as quickly as possible.
