These Happy Carefree Songs Will 'Send' You.....5
Imagine this if you will. Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchelle, John Lennon & Elvis getting up (from their sofas) and shaking the singers hand and saying “Thanks for showing us how it’s done”. The singer is Adam Faith, and OK, this is an exaggeration. But I say it to draw your attention to the fact that this is a classic CD.
There’s not a known hit of Adam’s on here, so it’ll all be fresh to you, even if you’re a Faith fan. At first it sounds a little thin, but play it a few times and it’s a real grower
(like Dylan’s John Wesley Harding). Though, of course, it’s completely different to Dylan’s late 60’s folk classic. This is early 60’s early Beatles, and even pre-Beatles Brit-style rock & pop. (Not to be confused with the generally un-impressive Brit-pop of the 1990’s). For a start, as a friend of mine said ‘You can hear all the words.’
Faith’s thin yet tuneful voice, a cross between Buddy Holly and Anthony Newley, is filled out with great rock musicianship and Jordinares type backing vocals supplied by The Roulettes. It’s two albums packed into one CD.
The first album ‘On the Move’ consists of 14 tracks written by Chris Andrews, and proves what a versatile song-writer he was. From touching love ballad to wild rocker, always first class, sensible lyrics. Lots about putting rings on girls fingers but that was what early sixties British pop was all about, early-teenage charm. And the wild rocker? – It’s Alright, which made the U.S. top forty at the height of the British invasion in 1965.
This rocking hit probably inspired the ‘Faith Alive!’ album, recorded before and audience of screaming girls at Abbey Road that very year. Faith in front of a live audience rocks as wildly as any of your favourite sixties beat combo’s and better than most. A comparison with the Beatles is not out of the way. There are another 14 tracks on the ‘Faith Alive’ half of the CD including rock classics like High Heel Sneakers and Chuck Berry’s Little Queenie, plus some more great Chris Andrews originals.
If like me in the mid-sixties you thought Adam Faith was passé and your ears were on what was happening across the Atlantic and in the British Beat Boom. Now you can go back and sample the freshness of mid-sixties Adam Faith.

Adam Faith was one of my favourite old records, he sings the cover versions like Elvis Presley's 'Heartbreak Hotel' and Chuck Berry's 'Little Queenie', and Bruce Channel's 'Hey Baby'.
I like this album actually it's very good.

Thanks Adam5
i was a member of abc and we were influenced by adam faith and the production of his albums by john barry . we loved the soundtrack to beat girl . you can hear the influences all over the lexicon of love and especially the us remix of poison arrow .. adam was super cool .
