Peter Asher and Gordon Asher came to America in the first wave of the British Invasion and immediately became as popular in the US as they were in England. They were prolific in the studio (Peter would later go on to greater fame as a record producer); these two albums produced hit singles and can be counted among their best. The bonus track "Sunday for Tea" is a highlight of this 2-for-1 CD which features 23 classic recordings.

These two slightly later efforts are actually more consistently interesting than the duo's first two albums, mostly because they stop trying to sound like the Beatles or the Everly Brothers, and sound more distinctive and soulful -- that's doubly true of the material off of the True Love Ways album. They rely more on their voices, which show more flexibility -- P&G were never going to be blues singers, but they're far less embarrassing and more directly attuned to what they're singing here, which includes Otis Blackwell's "All Shook Up" and Leadbelly's "Good Morning Blues." The results are sometimes successful within the context of the duo's work; "Cry to Me" is a good cover and one of their better records of this era, even if the Rolling Stones did it better, and their cover of Smokey Robinson's "Who's Loving You" is astonishing. The sound is consistently good-to-excellent, though the notes are sketchy. ~ Bruce Eder

LITTLETON, CO US -- February, 23, 2004
I GOT THESE TWO LP'S ON ONE CD THRU YOUR LABEL AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A LONG TIME FOR THEM AND FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET THEM--THANKS TO YOU. THE 'I GO TO PIECES ALBUM' {CAPITOL ST-2324} IS WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE THEIR VERY BEST ALBUM.
