The band from Scotland was one of the most popular rock bands of the seventies disco that especially with their music trying out failed with their fashion, setting trends, what do you - you can believe it now or not - quite succeeded with numerous hits , Because the band floated on the wave of a new music, a new musical zeitgeist, they helped to shape decisively, and for a while the "hippest" part of what the music industry had to offer at that time. The band was traded as the "new Beatles"; and indeed lagging this comparison not entirely; There are quite a few parallels. It seems to have really taken to the "Fab Four" a role model. At least the vocals this band is similar and always very convincing; but the melodies are often similar; sometimes all too naughty "stolen"; but mostly but with enough originality and innovation, especially through the new disco touch. Because the image of the band this band beat faster especially girls heart. As one of the first real "boy bands" can this band even many of the modern boy bands as a weak imitation of the band appear, which seems to have invented this concept. Many boys bands emulated insbesonderer this band by then. Today, it is because their typical 70s style of music on the radio - apart from a few oldie broadcasts - but barely played, which is why almost no one of the younger generation knows this band. However, I was very surprised when I heard this record: the song definitely have but potential; at least for (younger) people who also can inspire the Beatles or John Lennon himself. A song of this band knows each: "Bye Bye Baby", by far the biggest success of the band. But also many of the other songs on this double CD quite catchy qualities, for example the famous "I only wanna be with you", and the no less famous "Yesterday's Hero" and "Saturday Night". But many other songs here have similar potential.
In recent years, the band that had disbanded after a few years of (successful) existence was often seen again on various "Oldie festivals" in a different formation.
CONCLUSION: The CD offers the most popular songs of the largest and certainly disco Glamrockphänomene seventies! Fairly sophisticated melodies and rhythms in the style of the time, coupled with first-class singing! Not bad at all! One probably. this double CD really deserves 5 stars; but that probably prevents me from my "male pride" (it is not an "impertinence" that I write as a man about this band?), and my view is that bands like The Beatles were better (if the comparison a bit lame) ,
With this disc you can at least make his mother a great joy when she grew up at that time! But for today's teenage girls this CD is thoroughly recommended, so that they finally notice me, how unimaginative are today's boy bands! Jaja, then one has given with the production of pop music nor much trouble; but that at the time was still worth it (now supposedly no longer!).
