EVERLY BROTHERS – Four Classic Albums (It’s Everly Time / Fabulous Style Of The Everly Brothers / A Date With The Everly Brothers / Instant Party) (2 CDs) AVID

AVID Pop continues with its Four Classic albums series with a re-mastered 2CD release from The Everly Brothers, complete with original artwork and liner notes.
“It’s Everly Time”; “The Fabulous Style of The Everly Brothers”; “A Date With The Everly Brothers” and “Instant Party”
“It’s Everly Time”; In this album there is complete variety for every kind of Everly Brothers fan. All the recordings make good dance music, or they can simply be listened to for the haunting harmony of their voices and the deceptively simple instrumental accomplishments. Everything is here from ballads to gutty, low down blues, often (as in Oh True Love and even What Kind of Girl Are You) with a touch of gospel music in it. Songs like Just In Case have more than a touch of rock and roll, and even the most “pop” song of them, Memories Are Made Of This, seems to be a cross between country and Hawaiian music. All the songs are basically country songs, and one, Carol Jane, has such a strong folk quality that it seems to be a direct descendant of the early American Appalachian songs that are said to be unchanged from their original Elizabethan sources. Put it all together and it’s an album unlike any you have heard before – fresh, original, delightfully performed by the world’s No. 1 singing duo. In short,”It’s Everly Time!”. When you listen to “The Fabulous Style of The Everly Brothers” we reckon you will be glad you live in the UK! For not only do you get great songs on this album like “Let It Be Me”, “Take A Message To Mary”, “When Will I Be Loved”, “Till I Kissed Her” and “Be Bop A Lula”, all released on the original US release but you also get some of the boys greatest hits originally released on the UK version. So you can enjoy, “Claudette”, “All I Have To Do Is Dream”, “Bird Dog” and “Devoted To You” alongside many other Everly Brothers faves! And what’s more if you want to throw an Everly Brothers party, the boys will show you how with their fun filled recipe for having an “Instant Party”. Or if you just want to chill out to some of the boys fabulous harmonies, new hits and old favourites AND take a look at some fab shots of the boys, then you will need to “Make A Date With The Everly Brothers”. But be sure to ask your Mom or Pop first!
