Advantages: Excellent backing tracks, competent vocals, a couple of strong pop hits Disadvantages: Not much in the way of soul, some dull tracks, all rather dated now
wiped, as so many ?Top of the Pops? episodes were prior to 1976.
The song slipped from consciousness over time however and it wasn?t until I received the first ?Jackie? compilation album a couple of years ago as a gift that I heard it again and was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it ? despite the passing of well over 30 years.
Ever the curious sort, I sought out more of the Pearls? work and as an aficionado of the northern soul sound decided that their compilation CD ?A String of Pearls? had to be worth a punt if only to reminisce about my childhood.
The album has 24 tracks, including all singles and B-sides the girls recorded. To the best of my knowledge the Pearls never released an album in the seventies so there are no obvious ?album tracks? but there are several curiosities if you are familiar with music from the early 1970 ...
Advantages: Well Mixed, with famous garage MCs Disadvantages: None

CD 1: Full 12" Mixes

1. Turn It On: An immense opener, stating the intention of the album from the very beginning. Drozd's drums pound the ears, while Jones' psychedelic, distorted guitars swirl in and out carefree.

Record Collector (magazine) (p.78) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "When the likes of 'A Disappointed Love With A Desensitized Robot' appropriates 'Gimme Some Lovin' with a fuzzed-up jangle, you know you're in fairly safe hands."
