Gerry & the Pacemakers Razor & Tie Reissue

Postby Ron » Tue Feb 24, 2004 1:51 am

Weighing in at only 16 tunes, this decidedly lightweight affair is still 10 tracks too long. But if you've got to have the hits, this is the collection to get as the tonmeister really did do a bang up job. Too bad he'll never be given a chance to get his paws on two even better known George Martin & Ron Richards-produced groups.

Little River Band and The Paramounts?

No, no, no. Two other, even more well-known groups than those. Sheesh. If I'd known it was going to be so tough to get the correct answer I would have posted this elsewhere where the membership is quite a bit larger and a good deal more knowledgeable.

But all laughter aside, this Razor & Tie reissue really *does* sound great. The vocals, however, are too upfront to my tastes, but I imagine that's how the originals were mixed.
