Golden Greats was a timely greatest hits package of catchy but rather lightweight songs from US pop group Gary Lewis & The Playboys, who were little heard of in Britain. (US:10)
"The innocence and the sheer fun of their music is what this album's all about. While not a musical masterpiece, it is a masterpiece of nostalgia and pure fun. Gary Lewis should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Every song is worth listening to and brings back many memories of some better times for many of us. Really good stuff."
"Gary was never a great singer but he had great songs."
"Every song was a hit. You will know and tap your feet to them all. Makes you feel young again."
"The songs are catchy, happy, pop which are instantly enjoyable, If you like 60s pop - you'll like this album."
"This Diamond Ring went gold. The group then went on to have more major successes. All light as air pop but with a solid beat and catchy song hooks which the young buying public eagerly bought up."
"This has a great 60s rock flavour to it and they play and sing the songs to perfection. They handle complex tempo and key changes like the pros they were and still remain. Gary Lewis & The Playboys were born to perform and I never tire of hearing them. There's just the right mixture of pop and rock."
"This is a terrific deal. Gary & The Playboys are an underrated group that were very popular in their day. Critics ignore them for some reason. They're terrific, energetic, rhythmic and tuneful."
"Gary Lewis & The Playboys were a good time band that by the rendering of simple boy-girl songs made all of us feel happy."
