Every hit! The 26 tracks on Retrospective show that its not enough to just have hits, you have to have hits with the right songs. Hermans Hermits came to prominence during the early days of the British Invasion with a mix of odes to teenage love such as Cant You Hear My Heartbeat, Mrs. Brown, Youve got a Lovely Daughter, and Im Into Something Good and mildly rocked-up versions of ancient English music hall songs like s 1937 hit Leaning on a Lamp Post and the 1911 chart-topper Im Henry the VIII, I Am. By 1966, two years after lead singer Peter Noone and his band mates scored their first hit, they were pigeonholed as a novelty act and their records stopped charting. Which is too bad because their later songs like No Milk Today, East West, and Dont Go Out Into the Rain are delightful dollops of late 1960s British pop. Many of these later songs featured string arrangements by John Paul Jones and guitar parts by Jimmy Page, who were both studio musicians before they formed . Hermans Hermits were not among the most important bands from the British Invasion, but their best songs perfectly captured the giddy spirit of the times and are certainly worth revisiting. --Michael John Simmons
