Product Information
The illustrious Fortunes formed as a vocal trio - Rod Allen, Glen
Dale & Barry Pritchard. Backed by instrumental crew The Cliftones,
they released their first single in 1963, a cover of The Jamies'
»Summertime, Summertime« backed with Pritchard's original »I
Love Her Still« (both sides can be found here as bonus tracks). It
flopped - the three Fortunes dropped The Cliftones and became a
five piece with the addition of new members David Carr and Andy
Brown.
Their next single, »Caroline«, may not have been a chart
success, but was fondly loved as the theme song to Britain's first
infamous pirate radio station, Radio Caroline. Trying once again, the
lads released an excellent, Mersey-influenced two sider, »Come On
Girl«/»I Like The Look Of You«.and then another, »Look Homeward
Angel«. Despite the fantastic and harmonious sounds coming out
of the grooves, still no chart action for The Fortunes. Fame and
fortune (pun intended!) was found with their next 45, Greenaway & Cook's innovative »You've Got Your Troubles«. »Troubles«
launched them into the Top Five in England and Top Ten in
America. An album was released to capitalize on the sudden
success - and an excellent one at that - with readings of current hits
by others like »Looking Through The Eyes of Love« and A-Side»All Cried
Out«, as well as top notch originals penned by outside writers - see
»Won't You Give Him (One More Chance)« and »Laughing Fit To
Cry« for examples of tracks that could have easily beens for
the guys. Due to space constraints, we could not include »Maria«
and »You Can Have Her« on this package. However, the rest of the
album can be found on this disc. The album also included their next
hit, »Here It Comes Again«, going all the way to #4 in the UK and
just making the Top 30 in America.
»This Golden Ring« followed the
same formula, and found favour with UK buyers. Further singles
showed the group developing and maturing their sound, but record
sales declined. In 1967, Decca and The Fortunes parted ways. We
are proud to present, for the very first time ever, the complete
Decca singles of The Fortunes. As a bonus to you, the listener, we
also included the majority of their first 1965 album. 31 Tracks with
12 tracks in stereo
