The Foundations were a British soul band, active from 1967 to 1970.The group, made up of West Indians, White British, and a Sri Lankan, are best known for their two biggest hits, 'Baby Now That I've Found You' (number one in the UK and Canada, and number eleven in the US), written by Tony Macaulay and John MacLeod; and 'Build Me Up Buttercup' (number two in the UK and number three on the US.

Whoever thought the day would come when would be honored with a three-CD set? Sony sound forge audio studio 10 crack and keygen only. Now that it's found us, though, the job's certainly been done with admirable completeness, the 60 songs including everything they did for Pye -- a period that covers virtually everything of interest the band recorded, mostly dating from 1967-1970. That means there's not only everything from their singles and albums (including the whole of the late-'60s live LP ), but also five solo tracks (most or all of them from the early '70s) recorded by original lead singer; the mid-'70s single by, led by; and an unnecessary 12' 1989 remix of 'Baby Now That I've Found You.' Like many such vault-cleaning anthologies of bands with one or two big hits, though, it's musically erratic. At their best, credibly emulated horn-backed American vocal group soul, often mixed with mainstream British pop influences, flecked with a hint of ska/bluebeat and here and there. But it's those one or two big hits -- in their case, 'Baby Now That I've Found You' and 'Build Me Up Buttercup' -- that are easily the best items here.

Too many of the other songs have lesser echoes of those two hits, which may be unsurprising given that so many of their recordings were written by the - team who wrote 'Baby Now That I've Found You' ( co-wrote 'Build Me Up Buttercup' too, though with, not ). For those inclined to dig this deep, there are indications of unusual and interestingly different dimensions to the group on some of the relatively infrequent original compositions, like the ominous psychedelic-influenced 'New Direction,' ' -like 'Tomorrow,' 's funky 'Give Me Love,' and the mighty progressive funk of the instrumental workouts 'In the Beginning' and 'Where the Fire Burns.' 's 'A Walk Through the Trees,' moving the latter's tenor sax into a rare center-stage spot, is also worth hearing, and this group's version of 'That Same Old Feeling' (later a hit for their Pye labelmates ) is also worth hearing, if only for the relative prominence of 's chiming rhythm guitar. Most admirers of the group will be content with a single-disc greatest-hits collection, but for more serious fans this roundup is a valuable service, and the live album -- promised for reissue on CD in the late '90s -- comes off better here and more credible than most of us remember it.

The absence of original release date information (except for the year of issue) for each track is unfortunate, however, and the annotation is a bit disappointing -- on most of these Castle/Sanctuary vault raids of the Pye vaults, there's almost too much information, but here there's too little.
