Album Notes
All songs recorded from 1964-1968. Includes liner notes and an interview with Peter Asher by Parke Puterbaugh.Digitally remastered by Bill Inglot and Ken Perry.Though it's been outclassed by 2001's The Ultimate Peter & Gordon, Rhino's The Best of Peter & Gordon from a decade earlier is still one of the best collections of the British Invasion group's work. Along with their Lennon/McCartney-penned hits "A World Without Love," "Nobody I Know," and "I Don't Want to See You Again," it also features their other big singles "Go to Pieces," "Woman," and "Lady Godiva," as well as smaller hits like "The Jokers" and some album tracks and B-sides. While some of their more orchestrated songs, like their versions of "True Love Ways," "To Know You Is to Love You," and "Baby I'm Yours," sound a little stiff and dated, all of their early hits and many of their later songs still sound pretty fresh. In particular, "Knight in Rusty Armour" and the pretty folk of "The Flower Lady" have held up well, as has the mod psychedelia of "I Feel Like Going" and the brash "You've Had Better Times." While it's no longer the definitive single-disc Peter & Gordon collection, The Best of Peter & Gordon is still quite good, and its best songs are a welcome reminder of how the duo helped define the poppier side of the British Invasion. ~ Heather Phares

Good Compilation of this British duo !

Created: 08/03/07
This Rhino compilation pretty much touches base with all their albums released on both sides of the Atlantic from "A World without love" all the way to their very catchy "You've had better times" They also put out one country album during their heyday of mostly cover songs, but none of these tracks are on this CD.

After this duo split in 1968, they went their separate ways as Peter asher became a producer with such acts as James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt. Gordon Waller continued as a solo artist for awhile.

All in all, 20 great pop tracks from the "British Invasion" music scene.
