Comments:

This 23 track Keith West compilation covers his recording career from 1965 to 1974, through early bands like "Four + 1" and "The In Crowd" , his short period of stardom as singer with Tomorrow and his world wide solo hit "Grocer Jack" from the never finished teenage opera and some solo recordings after the break-up of Tomorrow. Keith West ( Hopkins) had a great voice, perfect for the trends of the sixties. He wrote some very good tunes for himself as well as various groups from this period.

Of the early recordings I especially like "You`re On Your Own" with "The In Crowd", but in my opinion his best recordings are those with Tomorrow. On this CD you`ll find 2 previously unreleased recordings for the film "Blow Up" which also featured the Yardbirds. There are 2 great BBC live recordings from 1967; as well as 2 album tracks from the 1968 Tomorrow album. His later recordings lacks the energy and excitement of the Tomorrow recordings; "Riding For a Fall" is a very good song, though.

My favourites are "You`re On Your Own", "Blow Up", "On a Saturday", "Shy Boy" and "Colonel Brown"
