In June 1964, Peter & Gordon became the very first British Invasion act after the Beatles to take the number one spot on the American charts with "A World Without Love." That hit, and their subsequent successes, were due as much or more to their important connections as to their talent. Peter Asher was the older brother of Jane Asher, Paul McCartney's girlfriend for much of the 1960s. This no doubt gave Asher and Gordon Waller access to Lennon-McCartney compositions that were unrecorded by the Beatles, such as "A World Without Love" and three of their other biggest hits, "Nobody I Know," "I Don't Want to See You Again," and "Woman" (the last of which was written by McCartney under a pseudonym). But Peter & Gordon were significant talents in their own right, a sort of Everly Brothers-styled duo for the British Invasion that faintly prefigured the folk-rock of the mid-'60s. In fact, when Gene Clark first approached Jim McGuinn in 1964 about working together in a group that would eventually evolve into the Byrds, he suggested that they could form a Peter & Gordon-styled act.

Asher and Waller had been singing together since their days at Westminster School for Boys, a private school in London. "A World Without Love" was their biggest and best hit, one that sounded very much like the Beatles' more pop-oriented originals. Their other two 1964 hits, "Nobody I Know" and "I Don't Want to See You Again," were pleasant but less distinguished. Sounding like McCartney-dominated Beatle rejects (which, in fact, they were), the production employed a softer, more acoustic feel than the hits by the Beatles and other early British Invasion guitar bands. "I Don't Want to See You Again" used strings, as would several of the duo's subsequent hits, which became increasingly middle-of-the-road in their pop orientation.

Some scattered folky B-sides showed that Asher and Waller may have been capable of developing into decent songwriters, but like many of the less talented British Invaders, their lack of songwriting acumen and ability to move with the times would eventually work against them. They did continue to hit the charts for a couple of years, with updates of the oldies "True Love Ways" (Buddy Holly) and "To Know You Is to Love You" (a variation of the Teddy Bears' "To Know Her Is to Love Her"). There was also a Top Ten cover of Del Shannon's "I Go to Pieces," and the brassy, McCartney-penned "Woman." The overtly cute and British novelty "Lady Godiva," though, became their last big hit in late 1966.

After Peter & Gordon broke up in 1968, Asher became an enormously successful producer, first as the director of A&R at the Beatles' Apple Records (where he worked on James Taylor's first album). Relocating to Los Angeles, in the 1970s he was one of the principal architects of mellow Californian rock, producing Taylor and Linda Ronstadt.

bonus track
23. To Show I Love You (2:24)

These two LPs combined on one CD (with one bonus track) show off the duo's strong and weak points at once. Peter & Gordon did good Beatlesque songs, although they couldn't really compete with the real article without the occasional outside song like "A World Without Love" or "I Go to Pieces" coming their way. And they did all right, if not exceptionally well, by folk-style numbers such as "Pretty Mary" and "Willow Garden," on which they compare favorably with the Everly Brothers. But when they do blues ("My Babe," "Trouble in Mind"), they sound plain silly, and pretty lightweight when they cover songs like "Lucille" as well. Additionally, they do the occasional over-orchestrated number that breaks the spell altogether. Basically, they couldn't make up their minds whether they wanted to be the acoustic duo following the footsteps of the Beatles, the mid-'60s answer to the Everly Brothers, or the successors to the Springfields (without anything resembling Dusty's big voice). At its best, their stuff made for pleasant memories on the radio, and this 23-song set is not bad music; P&G were far bigger and more successful in America (where being British was a valuable commodity right into the end of 1965) than England. The sound on this collection is good, with crisp stereo separation on the tracks and finely delineated playing. The notes are good, if not exceptional.

I Go to Pieces (1965)
The duo's third album was a versatile but patchy collection. And there was no getting around it: The best tracks, as was the case in many acts of the era, were the hits -- "I Go to Pieces" and the less well-remembered brassy, pounding "Don't Pity Me." They were at their best when they were at their folkiest, as on their nice cover of the Everly Brothers' "Sleepless Nights" and the decent original "Tears Don't Stop," which wouldn't have sounded out of place in the Searchers' repertoire. But they weren't well-equipped to tackle bluesy rock and folk oldies, as they tried to do with Elvis Presley's "All Shook Up" and "A Mess of Blues," Doris Troy's "Whatcha Gonna Do About It" (done better by the Hollies), and Leadbelly's "Good Morning Blues"). Still, it's a slightly above-average British Invasion pop/rock album. It's included in its entirety as half of the two-for-one package I Go to Pieces/True Love Ways on Collectables, which adds their fourth album, True Love Ways, and their 1967 hit "Sunday for Tea."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
True Love Ways (1965)
Peter & Gordon branched further from their initial pop-folky British Invasion harmony sound on their fourth album, with erratic results. There was an increased tilt toward heavy orchestrated ballads, which could work very well at times, as on the title track, a worthy updating of the old Buddy Holly song (and a big hit on both sides of the Atlantic). Their less impressive reworking of "To Know Him Is to Love Him" (retitled "To Know You Is to Love You") made the Top Five in Britain. However, they weren't well-suited to soul covers like "Cry to Me," and on their solo vocal showcases (Gordon Waller on Smokey Robinson's "Who's Lovin' You" and Peter Asher on "Any Day Now"), they overextend themselves without the support of a harmonizing partner. As for the better tracks, their cover of the Everly Brothers' "Crying in the Rain" was a natural choice, and the melodramatically arranged "Hurtin' Is Lovin'" and the folkier "I Told You So" are two of their better originals. Want some dig-deep trivia? The opening notes of their cover of Del Shannon's "Broken Promises" are identical to the opening notes of the subsequent Neil Young composition "Flying on the Ground Is Wrong," done by Buffalo Springfield on their first album.

Woman (1966)
Woman was another hit-and-miss album from the British Invasion duo, unfortunately full of more misfires than not. There's but one original on this album, and maybe it's no coincidence that this effort, "Wrong From the Start," is the best song on the LP other than "Woman." "Wrong From the Start" is nothing great, but at least it's straight-ahead period rock with organ. Most of the album, in contrast, nearly drowns in fatuous orchestral production. The selection of cover material isn't much better, sometimes giving the impression the pair was trying for the all-around entertainment market, including as it did songs like "Somewhere" (from West Side Story). Of the other cuts, "The Green Leaves of Summer" and "I Know a Man" (the second of which omits the usual orchestration) are the best, though they wouldn't qualify for inclusion on a best-of. Not only weren't Peter & Gordon making the most of their abilities, they at this point were less adventurous than they had been on their 1964 debut album, at a time when pop music was changing at a blinding speed. Collectables combined Woman and the 1967 album Lady Godiva onto a single-CD release, with the addition of two bonus tracks from singles, "Jokers" and "Knight in Rusty Armour."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lady Godiva (1967)
When the duo launches into a cover of "Exodus" as the second cut on the LP, one's heart can't help keep from sinking. Yes, it's another underachieving Peter & Gordon album, mixing flashes of solid folk-pop-rock songwriting and singing with a bevy of anachronistic cover versions. The novelty hit "Lady Godiva" is likely the only song here familiar to most listeners. Most of them won't be interested in hearing the pair tackle standards like "A Taste of Honey," "When I Fall in Love," "Till There Was You," and "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing" (which aren't nearly as good, indeed, as their take on "Exodus"). Yet amongst this gloppily orchestrated material is an Asher-Waller original, "The Morning's Calling," that sounds extremely influenced by the 1966 Byrds. The sole other original, "Start Trying Someone Else," does have the swelling orchestration typical of many of their arrangements, yet here they actually manage to make the overwrought aura work in favor of the tune rather than against it.

Knight In Rusty Armour (1967)
Peter & Gordon really ground out more albums in a brief time than they should have. That was true of many 1960s artists, of course, and not many of them were up to the pressure as much as the Beatles were. This LP is an unexceptional assortment of pop/rock from various angles, much of it sounding pretty passé by early 1967 standards (and in fact one of the better tracks, the folky original "I Would Buy You Presents," had been used as a B-side back in 1964). The British-quaint novelty title track was their final American Top 20 hit. Otherwise, there was too much overblown orchestration on songs that weren't great to start with. While it's a testament to their taste that they covered obscure songs by Jackie DeShannon ("A Boy With Nothing" and "Colour Blue") and P.F. Sloan & Steve Barri ("My First Day Alone"), these were not notable works by those composers. Their version of Phil Ochs' "The Flower Lady" isn't bad, though, and is interesting both because it predates the release of Ochs' own rendition, and is one of the relatively few covers of Ochs material by a mid-1960s rock act.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
In London For Tea (1967)
When In London for Tea was issued in 1967, many of Peter & Gordon's peers from the first wave of the British Invasion -- foremost among them their sometime-hit song suppliers, the Beatles -- were changing and innovating new styles at a furious pace. In that environment, this album seemed an outdated exercise in treading water, with the duo neither advancing their sound nor finding particularly interesting material. Perhaps that was inevitable for an act that, on this LP at least, didn't write any of their own songs with the exception of Gordon Waller's country tune "Red, Cream and Velvet." But although it did include their final U.S. Top 40 hit in the quaintly bouncy, overtly British "Sunday for Tea," the album was otherwise a patchy mix of soul, orchestrated ballads, and mild British Invasion pop. It was also populated with too many covers of then-recent hit records, among them the Searchers' "Goodbye My Love," the Fortunes' "You've Got Your Troubles," James & Bobby Purify's "I'm Your Puppet," the Jaynetts' "Sally Go 'Round the Roses," and Hank Locklin's country smash "Please Help Me, I'm Falling." The duo do sing well throughout, and if you just love their harmonies and Gordon Waller's melodramatic lead vocal style, that might be reason enough to find and enjoy this record.

Dutch archive label Disky's Peter & Gordon compilation Original Hits, which was readily available at a discount price in the U.S. in the immediate years following its European release, contains all 14 of the recordings the duo placed in the Billboard Hot 100 chart between 1964 and 1967, including their introductions of four Paul McCartney compositions, "A World Without Love," "Nobody I Know," "I Don't Want to See You Again," and "Woman." (They did have one single, "Never Ever," that reached the Cash Box Top 100 without placing in Billboard; it is not included.) All of Peter & Gordon's U.K. chart entries are included as well, one of which was a cover of the Barbara Lewis hit "Baby I'm Yours" that was not released as a single stateside. The remaining three selections on the 18-song album are the duo's versions of the Everly Brothers' "Let It Be Me" and the movie themes "High Noon" and "Exodus Song," which were LP tracks from 1966-1967. Licensed from EMI, the tracks sound good, in a combination of mono and stereo, though they seem to be straight transfers without any sort of sound improvement. There have been several compilations of Peter & Gordon's hits; this one is fairly complete, and if it can be purchased for a reasonable price, it may satisfy an average fan's basic need for their best-known recordings.
