The Beau Brummels had a sweet California sound, but they were not incredibly influential and did not seem distinctive from many other West Coast bands like the Byrds and the Turtles.Д¬herry Red Records have released a Beau BrummelsвЂ™ anthology called вЂњThe last word on an American classicвЂќ, Turn Around: The Complete Recordings (1964-1970).

Their first LP was the only one of their original five albums to reach the top 100 charts (Introducing the Beau Brummels, #28, 1965). They had just one top ten hit (вЂњJust a LittleвЂќ, #8 in 1965) and two other top 40 sides (вЂњLaugh, Laugh, #15, 1964) and вЂњYou Tell Me WhyвЂќ, #38, 1965). Meanwhile, the massive success of the British bands had American groups try to appear English, and they gave themselves names like the Sir Douglass Quintet (from Texas) and the Beau Brummels (from San Francisco).Д¬ritics usually consider the Beau Brummels a footnote in the history of rock. Ironically, many British groups thought that sounding more American made them seem more authentic as rock and rollers and gave themselves names such as the Nashville Teens and Billy J. These groups were strongly influenced by American music and often recorded covers of songs by US artists such as Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and the Isley Brothers. Acts like Gerry and the Pacemakers, the Dave Clark Five, the Who, the Rolling Stones, and the Animals had hit records and triumphant tours of the continent.

They launched a British Invasion of new English artists on the Billboard charts. The original stereo album masters are accompanied by a comprehensive assortment of out- takes, alternate mixes and 45 RPM versions, and are further enhanced by rarities and unreleased demos drawn from the band's own archives.ДЄll the members of the Brummels also contribute to the instructive and heavily - illustrated history of the recordings, housed in a deluxe, handsomely appointed booklet art directed and designed by Steve Stanley.ДЄin't That Loving You Baby (Alternate Vers.The Beatles exploded on the American music scene back in 1964. The group remained popular and influential in the US long after their 1965 chart successes with 'Laugh, Laugh' and 'Just A Little', and once the act had devolved to the duo of Valentino and Elliott in 1967, the Beau Brummels moved to the forefront of Warner Brothers' late 1960s pop renaissance with the albums 'Triangle' and 'Bradley's Barn', the latter a visionary country-rock masterpiece.ДЄssembled, annotated and mastered by longtime Brummels' aficionado Alec Palao, this major refurbishment of The Beau Brummels' catalogue leaves no stone unturned. 'Turn Around: The Complete Recordings 1964-1970' is the exhaustive overview of their legacy has so long deserved presenting the band's classic Autumn and Warner Brothers recordings in definitive fashion.Д«oasting the stellar songcraft of Ron Elliott and the unique voice of Sal Valentino, the Brummels were amongst the first American units to respond to the British Invasion with innovation rather than imitation. With their brilliant synthesis of folk and country, baroque and roll, San Francisco's Beau Brummels made a major and lasting contribution to the lexicon of American popular music in the mid-1960s.
