Together with Billy Fury, Adam Faith was second only to Cliff Richard in the British teen pop stakes during the early 1960s. However, unlike the other two he had a limited vocal ability which he nevertheless was able put to best use through many catchy tunes. Faith Alive!, his final hit album, captures him live with his backing group The Roulettes. (UK:19)
"Faith Alive, a live recording, is a unique musical document as well as a genuinely exciting record, and all of it is almost as good a showcase for The Roulettes as it is for Adam Faith. Faith Alive even includes two original compositions by the group."
"In 1965, Faith released his last new album, the concert recording Faith Alive, featuring him and The Roulettes, a surprisingly exciting and unretouched account of their work on-stage together."
"The Faith Alive! album was recorded before an audience of screaming girls at Abbey Road. Faith in front of a live audience rocks as wildly as any of your favourite sixties beat combos and better than most. A comparison with The Beatles is not out of the way. There are rock classics like High Heel Sneakers and Chuck Berry’s Little Queenie, plus some great Chris Andrews originals."
"If like me in the mid-sixties you thought Adam Faith was passé and your ears were on what was happening across the Atlantic and in the British beat boom. Now you can go back and sample the freshness of mid-sixties Adam Faith."
"It must be admitted that Adam Faith did not have a great voice, it being very limited. He did however use his voice with his own special style. This combined with the talents of John Barry gave Adam a string of hits in the early sixties."
"Adam Faith was one of my favourite artists. Here he sings cover versions like Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel, Chuck Berry's Little Queenie and Bruce Channel's Hey Baby. I like this album, it's actually very good."
