Customer Reviews
A VERY GOOD ADAM FAITH COLLECTION
EMI must have raided their vaults for just about everything that Adam Faith ever recorded for this collection.All the A and B sides of his singles are included and doubtless a lot more besides.It must be admitted that Adam Faith did not have a great voice being very limited as it was.He did however use his voice with his own special style.This combined with talents of John Barry gave Adam a string of hits in the early sixties.Its the recordings with backing by John Barry that are the best in this collection."Poor Me" "How About That" and "Easy Going Me" are all very easy on the ear and good recordings.The remastering of this mono and stereo collection is very good.If you like Adam Faith then this collection is just right for you.And very reasonably priced.Hope you enjoy it as much as i do.
Compilation of Hits from one of the best early UK Pop Stars
I have this album under an earlier title from Music for Pleasure, "The Best of Adam Faith", and was surprised that nobody had bothered to review it. Of course, you'd would have had to have been of the late 50's and early 60's young generation to have known Adam and the impact that he had on that early era of UK rock'n roll, along with Cliff Richard and Billy Fury. He wasn't the greatest singer in the world but he had an attraction and personality that appealed to a vast number of fans as well as establishing a niche for catchy and memorable pop songs. This album is a compendium of Adam's most famous songs, some of them were huge selling hits by today's standards, especially the earlier numbers. Adam had a distinctive sound, best reflected by numbers such as "What Do You Want?", "Poor Me" and "Who Am I?", and he also experimented with lovely ballads such as "The Time Has Come" and "Lonesome". With the advent of the Liverpool Sound, he managed to reinvent his style with the Roulettes on "The First Time" and "We Are In Love" before his sound started to lose direction. This is a good sequential record of Adam's significant contribution to UK pop history. There are other tracks, such as some B-sides, that do not appear on this album, which better demonstrate Adam's vocal versatility, but you can't satisfy every fan's preferences.
Nevertheless, this is a great record of a great time in pop evolution.
adam's 26 tracks from 1959 to 1966
Adam Faith was one of my favourite rock n roll stars of all time, like Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, Gene Vincent, and Cliff Richard. My favourite tracks was 'What Do You Want' and 'Poor Me' and 'Someone Else's Baby' and the traditional revival of Nursery Rhyme song of The Animals Came In Two By Two' 'Johnny Comes Marching Home' from 1960. 'The Time Has Come' from the 1961 film movie, and with The Roulettes 'The First Time' And 'We Are In Love' and 'If He Tells You' and 'I Love Being In Love With You' and also 'Someone's Taken Maria Away.
My dad likes Adam Faith, the another groups were Freddie And The Dreamers, The Animals.
