Let me warn you about the Tremeloes' songs. I've purchased 5 different compact discs that contain 1 or more of their hits and this Rhino CD is the first of those to have the actual recordings of the songs we heard on the radio in the 60's.
The Tremeloes members have been prolific at re-recording their hit songs since at least the mid-80's, and the CDs with these remakes are ubiquitous. Beware of their songs on the Madacy, K-Tel, and St. Clair labels.
The Trems were better than most artists at duplicating their original hit songs (most artists' re-makes are very poor in quality of musicianship and singing, and the remake labels usually have very poor equipment). However, I can tell the original Silence Is Golden from all the re-makes I've heard (pay attention to the background harmony).
I've never known Rhino to use re-recorded songs and this CD is no exception. The Trems' original hit recordings, mostly from 1967, are on this CD.
It's not available new anymore so you have to buy it used.
I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the music on the CD distorts at a moderate volume. Most likely because the master tapes were not in the best of condition.
