| I've searched long and hard for the original version of "Hold Me," by PJ Proby. At last, I found a cd that not only contains this song, but many others from the same period of time.....early sixties, the British Invasion. Of course, PJ was from Texas, but he made his fame in England, looked English, sounded British enough, and that was good enough for us teenyboppers. If the original versions of old songs is your number one criteria, this cd is the one you're looking for. |

 POWERHOUSE PROBY STILL PACKS PUNCH!

When it comes to the life and career of Texas-born P.J.Proby, there must be enough drama to fill any film script and then some, for the vocal maverick has lived his time to the full. As one of the Sixties bad boys of British pop culture, Proby enjoyed no fewer than eleven charting successes between 1964-69, and with just a few of them featured on this collection, the others can easily be accessed elsewhere.
This overview celebrates the singer's 70th birthday in November 2008 and covers sides recorded between 1961-1972, with emphasis on his international hits (NIKI HOEKY, I CAN'T MAKE IT ALONE), neglected album tracks (MY PRAYER, MISSION BELL, ANSWER ME), rare "B" sides (JUST LIKE HIM, WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND) and a couple of previously unreleased recordings (I'M AHEAD IF I CAN QUIT WHILE I'M BEHIND and a cover of the Tom Jones hit DELILAH). There are also eight other songs claimed to be new to CD and it's true to say the mixture gives full reign to P.J.'s vocal flamboyance and ability to render emotive ballads, a few rockers and even QUANDO TORNERA in Italian.
Whilst Proby's career has hit the rocky road on numerous occasions, he has never been forsaken by his fans and it's good to know he is still out there entertaining forty years later. These sides are another welcome reminder that he came, he saw and he conquered!

What a value for Proby (and music) fans!

This CD is bulging at the seams with great recordings. Some of the songs have been available in the past on other CD's that are no longer available, or were of lesser quality than this one is. This CD has been beautifully arranged and remastered, and includes 2 previously unreleased songs that I'm sure P.J. Proby fans will want to hear.
I personally found that three tracks alone (Just Like Him, Quando Tornera, and the long version of I Can't Make It Alone) were worth the price of the CD! Everything else is just icing on the cake. Other than the usual Proby titles that fans remember from this era (there are plenty on this CD), there is I Don't Want To Hear It Anymore which showcases his rich voice wonderfully.
Having bought the Legend CD several months ago, I ordered this one because I had liked "Legend" so much. I have no regrets at all.
