Buckinghams' The - Greatest Hits (1969 Columbia)


Hmmh... Why?  I don't know.  What is this? Sunshine maybe... half cloudy rather cause of those horns. I forced myself to listen the side B too and found it better than the A side. That is mostly because of the Foreign Policy. Susan is nice too.

4.6. I usually like brass but somehow I think The Buckinghams' use too much of it. The songs are quite nice and okay, but Chicago Transit Authority playing at the same time with them is a bit too much. If they had used that smooth organ sound that occasionally appears in "Kind of a Drag" instead of that Chicago brass, they would have made it.

Fine group anyhow and at least those two "italianos" Giammarese and Fortuna seem to be still alive and strong. That's great and take care!
