"This is the work of a very talented man." Record Collector
A veritable one man recording industry during the 60's and 70's with hit songs, performances and productions. RPM focuses on John Carter the performer with a definitive collection of his essential recordings as the artist from 1963-1977. Compiled by Bob Stanley and John Carter the track list uncovers plenty of previously unissued material, as well as original versions of hit songs such as Winchester Cathedral (New Vaudville Band) and Sunshine Girl (Hermans Hermits). The Anthology ends with a mini collection of some of the many adverts Carter has written and recorded such as those for British Airways and Jelly Tots! Presented on a mid price double CD with package notes from Bob Stanley, and photos from the John Carter archive.
As a prime exponent of Britain's answer to sunshine pop, the close harmony driven records of Carter have become increasingly popular amongst the retro taste makers during recent years. This anthology follows very successful collections of the Ivy League and the Flower Pot Men.
