Rhino's nine-volume British Invasion: History of British Rock is the most comprehensive overview of British pop music in the '60s ever assembled. Over the course of nine discs, the series traces the evolution of British pop from Merseybeat through psychedelia to heavy metal and soft-rock. For casual listeners, the set may be a little intimdating, but to any serious pop-rock fan, it's essential, not only for all the classic hits from artists like the Kinks, the Yardbirds, the Small Faces, the Zombies, Gerry & the Pacemakers, and the Hollies, but for one-hit wonders and obscurities. There is so much good music and so many styles that it truly doesn't matter that heavy hitters like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and the Who are missing; besides, by largely concentrating on second-tier acts and one-hit wonders, the series gives an accurate portrait of the shockwaves the Beatles and Stones (and, to a lesser extent, the Kinks, Who, Yardbirds and Small Faces) set off during the '60s. That's particularly true on Vol. 1, which contains more than its fair share of hits in its 20 tracks, including the Kinks' "You Really Got Me," Gerry & the Pacemakers' "How Do You Do It?" and "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Cryin'," Freddie & the Dreamers' "I'm Telling You Now," the Zombies' "She's Not There," the Swinging Blue Jeans' "Hippy Hippy Shake," Billy J. Kramer's "Bad to Me," Chad & Jeremy's "Yesterday's Gone," the Yardbirds' "For Your Love," the Searchers' "Needles and Pins" and Peter & Gordon's "A World Without Love." There are also a number of singles that went largely unheard outside of Britain, including cuts from the Hullabaloos, the Fourmost, Adam Faith, the Ivy League, Tommy Quickly and the Rockin' Berries, some of which are nothing more than artifacts, but they help put the hits in context. If you need a picture of the first explosions of the British Invasion, this is the disc to get. ---Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

British Invasion, musical movement of the mid-1960s composed of British rock-and-roll (“beat”) groups whose popularity spread rapidly to the United States.

The Beatles’ triumphant arrival in New York City on February 7, 1964, opened America’s doors to a wealth of British musical talent. What followed would be called—with historical condescension by the willingly reconquered colony—the second British Invasion. Like their transatlantic counterparts in the 1950s, British youth heard their future in the frantic beats and suggestive lyrics of American rock and roll. But initial attempts to replicate it failed. Lacking the indigenous basic ingredients—rhythm and blues and country music—of rock and roll, enthusiasts could bring only crippling British decorum and diffidence. The only sign of life was in the late 1950s skiffle craze, spearheaded by Scotland’s Lonnie Donegan. Skiffle groups (like the Beatles-launching Quarrymen) were drummerless acoustic guitar-and-banjo ensembles, jug bands really, who most often sang traditional American folk songs, frequently with more spirit than instrumental polish.

By 1962, encouraged by the anyone-can-play populism of skiffle and self-schooled in the music of Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Eddie Cochran, Buddy Holly, James Brown, and Muddy Waters, some British teens had a real feel for the rock-and-roll idiom. Blending that with such local traditions as dancehall, pop, and Celtic folk, they formulated original music they could claim, play, and sing with conviction. Young groups with electric guitars began performing and writing up-tempo melodic pop, fiery rock and roll, and Chicago-style electric blues.

Liverpool became the first hotbed of the so-called “beat boom.” With the Beatles, other exuberant male quartets such as the Searchers, the Fourmost, and Gerry and the Pacemakers—plus the quintet Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas—launched “Merseybeat,” so named for the estuary that runs alongside Liverpool. The Beatles first reached the British record charts in late 1962 (shortly after the Tornados’ “Telstar,” an instrumental smash that sent word of what was in store by becoming the first British record to top the American singles chart); the rest joined the hit parade in 1963.

Rock swept Britain. By 1964 Greater London could claim the Rolling Stones, the Yardbirds, the Who, the Kinks, the Pretty Things, Dusty Springfield, the Dave Clark Five, Peter and Gordon, Chad and Jeremy, and Manfred Mann. Manchester had the Hollies, Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders, Freddie and the Dreamers, and Herman’s Hermits. Newcastle had the Animals. And Birmingham had the Spencer Davis Group (featuring Steve Winwood) and the Moody Blues. Bands sprang up from Belfast (Them, with Van Morrison) to St. Albans (the Zombies), with more inventive artists arriving to keep the syles moving forward, including the Small Faces, the Move, the Creation, the Troggs, Donovan, the Walker Brothers, and John’s Children. While the beat boom provided Britons relief from the postimperial humiliation of hand-me-down rock, the Beatles and their ilk brought the United States more than credible simulations. They arrived as foreign ambassadors, with distinctive accents (in conversation only; most of the groups sang in “American”), slang, fashions, and personalities. The Beatles’ first film, A Hard Day’s Night (1964), further painted England as the centre of the (rock) universe. American media took the bait and made Carnaby Street, London’s trendy fashion centre in the 1960s, a household name.

From 1964 to 1966 the United Kingdom sent a stream of hits across the Atlantic. Behind the conquering Beatles, Peter and Gordon (“A World Without Love”), the Animals (“House of the Rising Sun”), Manfred Mann (“Do Wah Diddy Diddy”), Petula Clark (“Downtown”), Freddie and the Dreamers (“I’m Telling You Now”), Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders (“Game of Love”), Herman’s Hermits (“Mrs. Brown You’ve Got a Lovely Daughter”), the Rolling Stones (“[I Can’t Get No] Satisfaction” and others), the Troggs (“Wild Thing”), and Donovan (“Sunshine Superman”) all topped Billboard’s singles chart. These charming invaders had borrowed (often literally) American rock music and returned it—restyled and refreshed—to a generation largely ignorant of its historical and racial origins. In April 1966 Time magazine effectively raised the white flag with a cover story on “London: The Swinging City.” Peace quickly followed; by the pivotal year 1967 a proliferation of English and American bands were equal partners in one international rock culture. ---Ira A. Robbins, britannica.com

The second volume of British Invasion: History of British Rock largely concentrates on singles from 1965, containing such landmarks as the Kinks' "All Day and All of the Night," aManfred Mann's "Do Wah Diddy Diddy," Donovan's "Catch the Wind," the Yardbirds' "Heart Full of Soul" and the Zombies' "Tell Her No," as well as cuts from Billy J. Kramer ("I'll Keep You Satisfied"), Chad & Jeremy ("Summer Song"), the Hollies ("I'm Alive"), Peter & Gordon ("I Don't Want to See You Anymore," "To Know You Is to Love You") and Cilla Black ("You're My World"). Although it doesn't match the consistent peaks of the thrill-packed first volume, there's enough great hits and interesting obscurities to make it of considerable interest to serious pop-rock fans, even if there may be a bit too many mediocre cuts to appeal to more casual listeners. ---Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

 

Like every other kid in 1964-'65, I was quite caught up in Beatlemania and the "British Invasion" in general. The fact that I thought a novelty act like Freddie and the Dreamers were pretty cool tells you something about where my 11 year old head was at. How was I to know that they were just recycling silly old(e) English music hall motifs and melodies? They were British, and that was cache enough. And "doing the Freddie" was absurd enough to appeal to my pre-adolescent sensibility. Novelty songs were pretty big back then, and little kids DO love novelty. The Dreamers number here though ("You Were Made For Me") isn't nearly as fun, and at my advanced age now, actually a bit irritating.

I also rather liked Gerry and the Pacemakers, although primarily because they weren't as huge as the Beatles so I could sort of claim them (briefly) as "my" group. Gerry Marsden had a very pleasant singing voice and a nice way with a ballad. Of the two selections included on this release, "I'll Be There" still seems to hold up nicely. I used to LOVE "I Like It" as a kid, which has me scratching my head nowadays. It's actually pretty much a novelty track--a cut or two above Freddie maybe, but fluff to be sure. Funnily enough, I DID think Manfred Mann's "Doo Wah Diddy" was kinda dumb when I first heard it: I'd still call it a novelty tune, but a relatively solid one. And of course Mann went on to achieve a certain amount of acclaim for the Earth Band and Ch. 3.

So this is like a walk down Memory Lane for me, BUT it's important to remember that the music was growing up as fast as my tastes were. Within a few years, it was clear to me that the real good stuff was being produced by bands like the Kinks, the Zombies and the Yardbirds. You can hear something of the growing musical and lyrical sophistication in their tracks on this record. Even in "All Day and All of the Night's" rawness and deliberately simplified lyrics you could sense the keen intelligence of the Davies Bros. And those experimental edges around the Yardbirds' "Heart Full of Soul"? They were up to something there,if you had the ears to hear it.

Of course, a lot of pop from both sides of Atlantic was still just that, pop ballads that were good, bad or indifferent--but seldom innovative. They had their place too, though, Peter and Gordon, Chad and Jeremy, Cilla Black. I'm surprised at the relative schlockiness of some of the arrangements on these tunes. I remembered them as being much more sophisticated. Now they sound more like BAD Phil Spector. But they also served, and it's not inappropriate to include them in this kind of collection. Just as it's not inappropriate to throw in Donovan's answer to American folk rock, "Catch the Wind." Donovan, it turned out, wasn't quite Britain's answer to Bob Dylan, but he contributed a few lovely tunes a few jazzy ones over the years. And he anticipated the coming of a spate of Brit folk acts (John Renbourn, Bert Jansch, Pentangle, Fairport) that would never be lumped in with early "British Invaders," but who benefitted from the international acceptance those earlier bands achieved.

Lots of good stuff on this Rhino collection. And what isn't good is at least historically significant. Not surprising that the heaviest hitters aren't included (and all to the good too: the Beatles would overshadow everyone else here, just like they did on the radio back in the day). ---Gregor von Kallahann, amazon.com

By the third volume of The British Invasion: History of British Rock, the series' mixture of classic hits, English hits and obscurities should be familiar to any observer. Vol. 3 does follow the pattern that its two predecessors established, and while it doesn't have as many big hits as the first volume, it is the most interesting installment since Vol. 1. That's partially because there are a number of hits -- including Gerry & the Pacemakers' "It's Gonna Be Alright," Chad & Jeremy's "Willow Weep for Me," the Kinks' "Tired of Waiting for You," the Seekers' "I'll Never Find Another You," the Hollies' "Bus Stop," the Troggs' "Wild Thing," the Yardbirds' "I'm a Man" -- but also because there are lesser-known singles from Manfred Mann, Peter & Gordon and the Zombies, plus excellent cuts from such cult acts as the mod rockers the Action ("I'll Keep Holding On") and the Creation ("Making Time"). The obscurities are always interesting and frequently good, which helps make the disc of interest not just to collectors, but fans of '60s pop in general. ---Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

By 1966, the British Invasion had certainly begun to branch out from Merseybeat and British blues, encompassing psychedelia, sophisticated pop, folk-rock, music hall, R&B and hard rock. There are a couple of holdovers from 1965 on British Invasion: History of British Rock, Vol. 4, such as Gerry & the Pacemakers' "Ferry Cross the Mersey," but by and large the disc finds the British Invasion branching out as the second wave begins and the first wave finds new styles. There are more classic hits on this volume than any disc since the first, and the lesser-known cuts here are just as interesting. Nevertheless, even the obscurities -- Ian Whitcomb's vaudevillian "You Turn Me On," the Thoughts' Ray Davies-penned "All Night Stand," the Sorrows' "Take a Heart," the Creation's "Painter Man" and a pair of lesser-known singles from the Zombies ("Whenever You're Ready," "Just Out of Reach") -- were either hits or have become cult favorites over the years. And the rest of the hits are classics: the Yardbirds' "Shapes of Things," the Kinks' "A Well Respected Man," the Hollies' "Stop Stop Stop" and "Pay You Back With Interest," Billy J. Kramer's "Trains and Boats and Planes," Donovan's "Universal Soldier," Manfred Mann's "Pretty Flamingo," Peter & Gordon's "Lady Godiva," the Seekers' "Georgy Girl," the Troggs' "With a Girl Like You" and the Spencer Davis Group's "Keep On Running" and "Gimme Some Lovin'." The result is a terrific disc that boasts some of the best pop singles ever made. ---Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

British Invasion: History of British Rock pretty much follows a loose chronological order, which makes the presence of two tracks the Beatles recorded with Tony Sheridan in the early '60s ("Ain't She Sweet," "My Bonnie") on this collection of mid-'60s hits a little disconcerting. They break the mood, but they don't really devalue the disc, since there are so many great singles here. Granted, there aren't as many big hits as its immediate predecessor, but the ones that are here -- Petula Clark's "Downtown," Tom Jones' "It's Not Unusual," Wayne Fontana's "Game of Love," Them's "Baby Please Don't Go" and "Gloria," the Moody Blues' "Go Now," Dusty Springfield's "I Only Want to Be With You," Donovan's "Sunshine Superman" -- are terrific. Furthermore, the obscurities and smaller hits, from Georgie Fame's "Yeh, Yeh" and the Tornadoes' "Telstar" to the Pretty Things' "Road Runner" and the Mojos' "Everything's Alright," are very good, making this another fine installment in a generally excellent series. ---Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Volumes six through nine in British Invasion: History of British Rock appeared three years after the initial five volumes, and appropriately they pick up in the late '60s, where the original installments ended. In general, these later volumes rely more on obscurities, forgotten singles and British hits than their predecessors, but Vol. 6 is the exception to the rule. Certainly, there are a few gems that will be unknown to casual fans -- cuts by the Eyes, Unit 4 Plus 2, the Bachelors and Dave Berry -- but most of the record is devoted to hits, either by major artists like the Hollies ("Look Through Any Window," "On a Carousel"), Them ("Here Comes the Night," "Mystic Eyes"), Dusty Springfield ("Wishin' and Hopin'"), the Walker Brothers ("Make It Easy On Yourself") and the Small Faces ("Sha-La-La-La-Lee," "My Mind's Eye") or one-hit wonders the Tremeloes ("Here Comes My Baby"), the Foundations ("Baby, Now That I've Found You"), the Silkie ("You've Got to Hide Your Love Away"), Lulu ("To Sir With Love") and the Mindbenders ("A Groovy Kind of Love"). Again, the end result is a collection that captures the feeling and sound of the era, and offers an important chapter of pop music history. ---Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Despite the presence of some very big hits, British Invasion: History of British Rock, Vol. 7 relies more on second-tier singles and cult favorites than any previous installment in the series, which may make it more interesting to collectors than casual listeners. Nevertheless, fans of '60s British pop only familiar with hits may find a lot of the lesser-known songs of interest, even if not every song is great. Certainly, the Smoke's "My Friend Jack," the Wild Uncertainty's Everly Brothers cover "Man With Money," the Merseys' "Sorrow," Jonathan King's "Everyone's Gone to the Moon" and "Smashed! Blocked!" by John's Children (featuring Marc Bolan, the future founder of T. Rex) are at the very least interesting, and better than latter-day singles from Petula Clark, Chad & Jeremy, the Animals and Gerry & the Pacemakers. Those lesser-known tracks enhance the value of the disc for collectors, and they offer a nice counterpoint to familiar hits like the Easybeats' "Friday on My Mind," Los Bravos' "Black is Black," Donovan's "Mellow Yellow," Dusty Springfield's "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me," the Walker Brothers' "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore," the Hollies' "Carrie Anne," the Tremeloes' "Silence is Golden," the New Vaudeville Band's "Winchester Cathedral" and the Bee Gees' "To Love Somebody." Like the previous volumes of British Invasion: History of British Rock, Vol. 7 has a good mix of hits and obscurities that makes it a definitive portrait of mainstream British pop in the late '60s. ---Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
