CD ReviewsTruly A GREAT Lost Classic Robert Keith | New York, NY USA | 01/01/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I buy a LOT of 60s reissues, especially lost classics, and this one is by far the best. It doesn't really sound like Pet Sounds. It's more like great 66/67 UK Freakbeat and pop. It's Andrew Loog Oldham's finest production job. Great songs, singing, vocal arrangements, killer guitar playing and beautiful strings. If you like Love's Forever Changes and Revolver-era Beatles, you'll love this album." Cool British Import CD S. G Heck | Chicago, IL | 08/05/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "I read about Billy Nicholls about 5 years ago in some magazine. It said something about "Would You Believe" being the British version of "Pet Sounds". I had to order it from England, which was a bit steep money wise, but at the time, it had just been issued on CD so I went for it and I'm glad I did. He has been sort of my little secret because no one I know owns this disc except for myself. The first song is a little disarming because it features backup vocals by Steve Marriott of The Small Faces. I love Steve Marriott's vocals with The Small Faces, but they sound out of place here. The rest of the album is wonderful and haunting. Pretty amazing stuff for a 17 year old. As a songwriter, this album has had some influence on me to be sure. Anyone who is a fan of mid to late 60's psychedelic music should check this album out, you won't regret it. If you want to dig a little deeper after this one, check out Pete Townshend's first solo record, "Who Came First", which features some excellent vocals by Billy Nicholls on one track. Also, Del Shannon covered the second song on "Would You Believe" called "Cut And Come Again". His version is also really cool." Pure bliss Sganaplino | Piadina world - Italy | 12/05/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "This CD is a real gem and it shines so much you must put your RayBan on."
