Title: A Taste Of What Might Have Been
Review: While I too would prefer to find a reasonably priced collection of all Scotland's Poets singles, I couldn't disagree more with the previous reviewer with respect to the quality of the songs on this disc - what we have here are The Poets two Immediate Records 45s (The Rolling Stones first manager Andrew Loog Oldham's mid-60s record label, he was managing this group at the time). The songs themselves are great - interesting arrangements, tuneful, echo in the right places to give that mid-60s "crunchy" guitar and drums sound. The group only issued one more single after this before essentially breaking up. If you have an interest in UK 60s beat-orientated music that goes a little deeper than the usual suspects (early Beatles, Stones, Who, Kinks - all fine groups by the way) you won't be disappointed in picking this up at the right price (under $10).
