eight years ago, Engelbert Humperdinck briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “It’s Not Unusual”. This disc has all of the essential Engelbert Humperdinck classics. This -song debut EP shows the promise that Engelbert Humperdinck has. If I may, I suggest “What’s New Pussycat”. That one song is amazing!
It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: It’s Not Unusual, which shows, blatantly, how much Engelbert Humperdinck has evolved as a singer. Green, Green Grass Of Home is a medium tempo tune. Promise Her Anything (2:38) - Oh, this is one of my favorites! The first time I listened to Thunderball I was struck by its perfect sound. Engelbert Humperdinck has created something that grabs you by the heart and gets you moving. Stop Breaking My Heart is a great song for a cosy night in when it’s cold and wintry outside. All of songs on The Best Of… and have something to say letting alone Not Responsible. This track is just a stunning masterpiece. There’s A King Of Hush (All Ov…) is the first taste of the new album. There Goes My Everything pretty much defines how I feel spiritually. Yours Until Tommorow great lyrics, dark, deep, angry and cool.Vocal harmonies in this track are great and song structure is just right. What Now My Love is the album’s biggest hit, I think. I like the idea behind Quiet Love. This track is possibly the biggest guilty pleasure on The Best Of….
The Best Of… CD
