There were extensive compilations of Joe Browns early output prior to this
release, but this three-CD, 82-track box is certainly the biggest one likely to
be produced. Everything he released on the Pye and Piccadilly labels between
1961 and 1967 is here, including not only everything from his singles, EPs, and
LPs, but also the entirety of the obscure 1964 soundtrack album What a Crazy
World (on which Brown sang or co-sang the majority, but not all, of the
numbers). As with any such retrospective of an artist whose output was uneven
and whose significance wasnt monumental, such completeness of packaging is a
mixed blessing. Brown was at his best when he leaned toward a mild
country-rockabilly-influenced rock & roll sound, and on the best tracks -- A
Picture of You, Your Tender Look, Sally Ann, Everybody Calls Me Joe, You Cant
Lie to a Liar -- you can hear why he was admired by early-60s British rock &
roll fans and musicians, including George Harrison (who sang on a couple of
Brown covers the Beatles played live in the early 60s, A Picture of You and What
a Crazy World Were Living In). The problem is, you also get an abundance -- some
would say an excess -- of vaudevillian tunes playing up Browns Cockneyism, at
times sounding like a somewhat more rock-oriented take on the most music
hall-ish side of Lonnie Donegans repertoire. There are also quite a few slight
early-60s pop/rock songs and ballads, along with standards and instrumentals
(and even a faithful 1967 cover of the Beatles With a Little Help from My
Friends, which made the British Top 40) that testified to his versatility, but
often dont make for very satisfying listening. The music hall-like cuts in
particular wont translate well to the relatively few American listeners likely
to seek out Brown reissues (and its virtually impossible to imagine how the
Beatles would have performed What a Crazy World Were Living In on-stage), though
Im Henery the Eighth I Am at least demonstrates that Hermans Hermits werent the
first British rockers to come up with the idea of updating that song. The What a
Crazy World soundtrack material is only of interest to rabid completists, being
far more oriented toward dippy theatrical musical fare than rock & roll, and it
should be noted that Brown doesnt even sing on a few of those tracks. If you
want to get even pickier, if this box were to be a truly complete survey of
Browns early output, it should have licensed the six tracks he issued on three
1959-1960 Decca singles, as a prior anthology (Sequels two-CD The Joe Brown
Story) did. A much more selective and shorter Brown anthology, then, is advised
for listeners who want to focus on only the most noteworthy records he cut. For
those who want to immerse themselves in virtually all of Browns early material,
however, its well-packaged, with detailed historical liner notes.
