  MUST say I was surprised that Herman's recording of the Donovan song "Museum" didn't make the grade - maybe it was because it was a bit off the beaten track for him. This new one reverts more closely to his accepted style - a happy-go-lucky bouncer, with supporting handclaps and dancing strings.Herman dual-tracks appealingly, with the Hermits chanting lustily behind him. The beat is infectious and heavily accentuated with more than a touch of the Motowns - and the tune is catchy and whistle-able. It's a sparkling, uncomplicated disc which should restore the group to the chart. Owing to pre-Christmas rush with which review copies were sent out, I regret I only received a one-sided disc and therefore cannot comment on the flip |
