The great successes in 1971 and 72 plus lesser-known ...

... Tracks from their first two LPs. Not a bad idea to be limited as a snapshot in this short period of just over a year. Older listeners completely devoted to the memories, especially the long hot summer (71 to October you could go for a swim), which was received with "Chirpy Chirpy ..." and "Co Co" Sweet in the nostalgic history.
- School and childhood is also used in "Tweedle Dee Tweedle Dum", "Love Sweet Love" and "The Talk of all the USA", "Yellow River" again. What also for the well-produced 45-er B-sides "To Remind Me" "Rainin Painin" these smash hits applies.
- The year was worthy end to the chart success of a Spanish-tinged ballad "Soley Soley". The attractive Scot (sometimes like a glass of champagne drank too much) spanned a wide arc from here vocally sad to spirited, again with a rousing chorus. Sally Carr was - depicted on many Bravo / relay / Pop and Popfoto pages and posters - textile sparingly as on the CD cover.
- In slow motion (through weekly tape recording of the "hit of the week") passed then the time until the turn of the year.
- 1972 had some other hits: "Samson and Delilah" and "Sacramento" were rhytmusorientierte, good danceable success, again with a strong South American touch with the rhythm guitar and the percussions.
- It's great that some good LP title of "Middle of the Road" and "Acceleration" is heard: "Queen Bee", "On this land," "Give it time", "Try a little understanding" and "Louise ". Pity these LPs have not been re-released on CD, who finds time as the original at the flea market can be convinced of the song quality. If "Take the Heat of Me" or "Love for Sale" were hung up, why not the originals of Middle of the Road. Without exaggeration, the single-success in Europe were (not least in Germany) in the early years of the seventies as great as that of Boney M. the outgoing year.
- Teens Today I recommend to know this band, possibly even in the summer this CD to take to Beach party and test the reactions of friends / girlfriends.
- A CD-continuation would hit their 1973-76, for example, "Bottums up" that would not fit in here. The difference of "Soley Soley" to "Kailakee Kailako" is similar in size and exciting as that of "Waterloo" to "Dancing Queen". In both cases, a discovery jaunt worthwhile with the time machine, and people may go into the, at that time still in Abraham's sausage boiler ...
