The Tremeloes: The Complete CBS Recordings 1966-72, 6CD Boxset

The definitive anthology of one of the most successful British pop groups of the late 60s.

Doing exactly what it says on the tin, this 6-CD release features every note of the band’s recordings during their halcyon days with CBS.

Including huge hit singles (‘Here Comes My Baby’, ‘Even The Bad Times Are Good’, ‘Silence Is Golden’, ‘(Call Me) Number One’ etc).

Plus highly-regarded psych-pop B-sides, criminally overlooked album tracks, alternative versions, outtakes, foreign language recordings, a live cabaret album and even the first-ever full release of the complete sessions for the 1970 cult movie ‘May Morning’, ‘The Complete CBS Recordings’ gathers everything under one roof for the first – and, almost certainly, the last – time.

Featuring no less than 165 tracks in mono, full fat stereo and even electronically-processed stereo (the way the band’s mono-only early recordings were heard at the time in more stereo-oriented countries such as the USA).

Containing over seven hours of music across six CDs, this stunning package includes a lavish 32-page booklet with a new 5000 word essay on the band’s career, numerous band quotes and a huge number of extremely rare photos of the band in their youthful prime.
