Herman's Hermits - Their Greatest Hits

180-gram vinyl

In recognition of the 50th anniversary of the British Invasion, ABKCO Records is releasing vinyl editions of Herman's Hermits' Their Greatest Hits. The release is pressed on 180-gram vinyl with original art. Lacquers were cut by Carl Rowatti at Trutone Mastering from high resolution audio sources mastered at Gateway Mastering.

Herman's Hermits, hailing from Manchester, were among the British Invasion's freshest faces. The group, led by heartthrob vocalist Peter Noone, introduced a unique blend of infectious pop and traditional English music to the world in 1964, when "I'm Into Something Good" shot straight to No. 1 in the U.K. and pierced the Top 20 in the U.S. The following year, Grammy-nominated "Mrs. Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter" and "I'm Henry VIII, I Am" became No. 1 hits in the U.S., and the Hermits edged out The Beatles to become the top selling pop act in the nation in 1965.

Their Greatest Hits covers the period of mid-1964 to early 1967, and features other Top 5 singles like "Can't You Hear My Heartbeat," "(What A) Wonderful World," written and originally recorded by Sam Cooke, and "Dandy," which was a bigger hit for the Hermits than fellow invaders The Kinks. The legendary Mickie Most produced all of the tracks on Their Greatest Hits.
