When UK chart-toppers Brian Poole And The Tremeloes parted company in 1966, few would have wagered that the backing group would outdo the lead singer. Remarkably, however, the relaunched Tremeloes went on to eclipse not only Poole, but the original hitmaking act. At the time of their reconvening in 1966, the lineup was comprised of Rick West (b. Richard Westwood, 7 May 1943, Dagenham, Essex, England; guitar), Alan Blakley (b. 1 April 1942, Dagenham, Essex, England, d. 1995; rhythm guitar), Dave Munden (b. 2 December 1943, Dagenham, Essex, England; drums) and Alan Howard (b. 17 October 1941, Dagenham, Essex, England; bass). In May of 1966 Howard was replaced by Mike Clark; however, a mere three months later his spot was taken by Len ‘Chip’ Hawkes (b. 2 November 1946, London, England), whose lead vocals and boyish looks gave the group a stronger visual identity. In order to keep up with the times, the group members abandoned their stage suits in favour of Carnaby Street garb and fashionably longer hair. Their second-generation debut for Decca Records was a cover of Paul Simon’s ‘Blessed’, which proved unsuccessful. Seeking more commercial material, they moved to CBS Records and covered ‘Good Day Sunshine’ from the Beatles’ Revolver. In spite of radio play, it too failed to chart, but their third release ‘Here Comes My Baby’ (a Cat Stevens composition) smashed into the Top 20 on both sides of the Atlantic.

An astute follow-up with ‘Silence Is Golden’, previously the flip side of the Four Seasons’ ‘Rag Doll’, proved a perfect vehicle for the Tremeloes’ soft harmonic style and gave them their only UK number 1 and their highest US chart entry (number 11). Having established themselves as a hit act, they notched up an impressive run of hits during the late 60s including ‘Even The Bad Times Are Good’, ‘Suddenly You Love Me’, ‘Helule Helule’ and ‘My Little Lady’. At the end of the decade, the Tremeloes seemed weary of their role in the pop world and broke away from their usual Tin Pan Alley songsmiths to write their own material. Their first attempt, ‘(Call Me) Number One’, was an impressive achievement, probably superior to the material that they had recorded since 1967. When it reached number 2 in the charts, the group members convinced themselves that a more ambitious approach would bring even greater rewards. Overreacting to their dream start as hit writers, they announced that they were ‘going heavy’ and suicidally alienated their pop audience by dismissing their earlier record-buying fans as ‘morons’.

Their brief progressive phase was encapsulated in the album Master, which won no new fans but provided a final Top 20 single, ‘Me And My Life’. Thereafter, they turned increasingly to cabaret, where their strong live performances were well appreciated. In 1974 Chip Hawkes went to Nashville, USA, to pursue an ultimately unsuccessful solo career (his son Chesney Hawkes would enjoy a brief moment in the spotlight in the late 80s). Blakley left the following January, and Aaron Woolley and Bob Benham were brought in as replacements. The Tremeloes continued to record on an occasional basis, with albums being released by DJM Records and their old label CBS. They were still active in the new millennium, with Munden and West joined by Joe Gillingham (keyboards/vocals) and Davey Freyer (bass/vocals). In September 2006 Poole and the band reunited after 40 years for a tour of the UK. The latest version of the Tremeloes featured Munden, Hawkes, West and newer members Gillingham and Jeff Brown. ---allmusic.com

One of the great ironies of the music business is that Decca chose BP and the Trems over The Beatles in January 1962 thinking they would be more commercial. They had to wait until July 1963 to score their first hit- and it turned out to be a cover of 'Twist and Shout', cashing in on the success of The Beatles rendition of that song on their first album.

To be fair, the Tremeloes were good musicians, Brian Poole was a competent singer and the group went on to have several more hits, though all were covers of American songs. By the end of 1965 they were done, though the Tremeloes re-appeared without Poole in 1967 for a second, and more successful run.

This album collects all the hits with Poole as the lead singer, together with some B-sides and some extra tracks which, I have to say, are basically filler. When a group is struggling to fill a single-disc 'best of' collection, you know their run has been a brief one. Still, it was good while it lasted and anyone who collects music of this period surely has to have a CD of the band whom Decca chose instead of The Beatles. ---John D. Muir, amazon.com

Vocalist Brian Poole organized the Tremeloes in the late Fifties. By the time they signed the Decca contract, the group also included Rick West on lead guitar, Alan Blakely on rhythm guitar, Alan Howard on bass and Dave Munden on drums. Poole, who earlier affected a kind of Buddy Holly look (complete with horn-rimmed glasses), decided to change his image when the Tremeloes first few releases fell flat. At the same time, the band started to cover R&B classics. The first of these efforts, "Twist and Shout," reached #4 on the British charts despite having to compete head-to-head with the Beatles' version.

The Tremeloes' next single, "Do You Love Me," went mano a mano with and ultimately outperformed the Dave Clark Five's version. Over the next year, they followed up with a series of Top 40 hits, including a cover of cover of Roy Orbison's "Candy Man" and a rendition of the Strangeloves' "I Want Candy."

A real find, this album captures the Tremeloes as a concert act in all of their glory, recorded at the Showboat in Middlesborough on June 5, 1969, and the Top Hat in Spennymoor on June 6, 1969 -- it was in stores in England just two months later, which indicates a notable lack of doctoring of the sound. The group is not only in top form, but they give a glimpse of just how rousing they were to audiences of the time, coaxing the crowd to stomp and sing along on "Here Comes My Baby" and their other hits. It's easy to forget that, for all of most artists' reliance on original material, a lot of acts in this period were only too happy to cover others' songs, and it was perfectly respectable to do so -- thus, we get versions of "Angel In The Morning" and a medley of "Games People Play"/"Proud Mary," amid live renditions of such familiar Tremeloes fare as "Suddenly You Love Me" and "Silence Is Golden." Even better for 60's enthusiasts, this album captures the use of an instrument that even a lot of psychedelic bands didn't bring on stage, the electric sitar, which Rick Westwood plays here, in the band's performance of their failed 1966 single "Blessed" (a version of the Simon & Garfunkel song). Reissued in 2000 as part of Castle Communications' Suddenly You Love Me. ---Bruce Eder, AllMusic Review
