Customer Rating:
Summary: British Invasion
Comment: Only the very best of one of England's greatest duets, the other being Chad & Jeremy. All the songs are their biggest hits. Won't disappoint. Eric
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great voices of Peter and Gordon
Comment: Peter and Gordon were get at harmonizing. "I Go to Pieces" and "A World Without Love" are sensational! Every song is great on this 10 song CD. Whatever happened to their great voices?
Customer Rating:
Summary: Worth the money, but just
Comment: Peter and Gordon were responsible for three singles of interest; if one needs to hear them again, this is the collection worth buying. Anything else would require more money and time than P and G are quite honestly worth. And there you have it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Peter & Gordon-Greatest Hits
Comment: It was refreshing to relive the early 60's again with this copulation of Peter & Gordon hits. The love songs were of a gentler emotional time and the "fun" songs ie Lady Godiva were of less raunchiness.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A really bare boned look at the best of Peter & Gordon
Comment: Peter & Gordon's "Greatest Hits" is not the best Peter & Gordon collection out there. That would be the 2001 release of "The Ultimate Peter & Gordon." Peter Asher and Gordon Waller were the rock duo who had the distinction of being the first group in the British Invasion other than the Beatles to have a #1 hit, "A World Without Love." Of course, the explanation for this success was that Asher's younger sister Jane was Paul McCartney's girlfriend during the first part of the Sixties. This connection paid off with three other hits for Peter & Gordon, namely: "Nobody I Know" (#12), "I Don't Want to See You Again" (#16) and "Woman" (#14).
Of course, even without their recoding discarded Beatles songs Peter & Gordon would be remembered for their novelty hit "Lady Godiva" (#6). But with their softer, more acoustic sound, you can see Peter & Gordon as being more in tune with the folk-rock movement than with the British Invasion. In fact, Asher would go on to be a producer who helped define the mellow sound of California rock, which would seem to help prove the point. Notice that their folksier songs, like "Knight in Rusty Armour" stands up a lot better than ones where the production values lean towards orchestrations, such as "To Know You Is to Love You."
At the very least, Peter & Gordon represent the lighter side of the British Invasion, and you can have fun figuring out who their dark side counterpart would be. The only serious knock against them is that Asher and Waller were average song-writers at best (but notice that the album ends with a pair of songs the duo wrote individually). The knock on Peter & Gordon's "Greatest Hits" is simply that while it has their five best songs, it only provides five more beyond that and that does not include "Baby I'm Yours" and their version of Phil Ochs' "The Flower Lady."

Editorial Reviews:

In many respects, this relatively condensed package contains everything you need by the duo that's been called "the Everly Brothers of the British Invasion," including all the American hits--from the four that Paul McCartney wrote for them (you see, Peter Asher's actress sister, Jane, was Macca's steady gal for years) to the Buddy Holly cover, their take on Del Shannon's timeless "I Go to Pieces," and their foray into music-hall schtick via "Lady Godiva" and "Knight in Rusty Armor." Rhino's "best of" has 10 additional tracks--including the duo's self-penned nonhits--but that may be for completists only. --Bill Holdship
