IF someone asked you to pick out nothing but the grooviest Herman's Hermits' hits, chances are the first 12 you'd select would be the numbers on this fabulous album, "The Best of Herman's Hermits!"
All the golden HH's hits are here. I'm Henry VIII, I Am; Mrs. Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter; Mother-in-Law; I'm Into Something Good; Silhouettes; Just A Little Bit Better and so much more. As a matter of fact, a character named Sherman of England's popular "Bullwinkle" TV show should be beside himself with exceitement.
Herman - Sherman
What has Sherman got to do with Herman's Hermits? Well, it just so happens that Herman is Sherman's namesake. You see, when Peter Noone (Herman) first joined the group, it was called the Heartbeats. And the Heartbeats thought that their new lead singer resembled Sherman on the "Bullwinkle" show. Don't even try to guess the rest - Peter became "Herman" instead of "Sherman" because none of the group could agree on the "Bullwinkle" character's real name!

Of course, the group itself had to be renamed to fit the handle of it's new member and leader. Thus, the Heartbeats became Herman and the Hermits - later shortened to Herman's Hermits.
Agreement on Success
But Peter, Karl, Barry, Keith and "Lek" all agree on the subject of their success. The HH5 all enjoy meeting the fascinating people of the entertainment world, not to mention the glittering fame, wealth and luxury they have now earned. And their travels away from home have made each of them appreciate their families more than ever.
Love At First Sound
Of course, among their first loves are their millions of fans - and the fans' feelings are mutual. Why? In Herman's own words, "I think they like us because we're not trying to get a deep message across. We are as we are, and our music doesn't really follow any particular trend. Anyone can identify with us."
Now you can participate in the rollicking romance that is sweeping the world. Tune into "Hermania" and you'll find out why Herman's Hermits are irresistible everywhere they go even before you hear the flip side of "The Best of Herman's Hermits!"
