"This budget priced CD from Canada has a cover photo of Herman's Hermits promoting their appearance at the prestigious "Talk Of The Town" theatre in London in 1969. This is highly misleading as the CD contains 10 re-recorded hits from 1976 and features bassist Karl Green on lead vocals, not Peter "Herman" Noone, who left the group in 1971. Green manages to bring a lot of authenticity to the lead singing, and projects the Manchester style and accent with great enthusiasm. The updated versions of "I'm Into Something Good" and "A Must To Avoid" are excellent! But if you want to hear the original recordings from the 60's, this is not the CD for you. A total playing time of only 25 minutes and 14 seconds is another disincentive to buy this CD."
