 The Ultimate, perhaps October 30, 2008
This is a great CD that contains every charted hit and some B-sides from these artists. This one CD covers it all. Sound quality is superb. An excellent value purchase if you want to get a complete overview of Peter and Gordon.

The Ultimate Peter & Gordon gives us an excellent overlook at the artistry of Peter & Gordon. The quality of the sound is excellent and the artwork is very nicely done.
The album starts off so nicely with their classic hit entitled "A World Without Love." Peter & Gordon harmonize well to this tune and the lyrics are very well written. The drums and guitars make the melody quite catchy and memorable; I predict that you will like this song if you haven't already heard it.
"I Don't Want To See You Again" has a lush musical arrangement while Peter & Gordon sing this sweetly. Their voices are full of masculine warmth and their excellent diction bolsters their performance. The modulations between major and minor keys work well for "I Don't Want To See You Again." In addition, listen for "Love Me, Baby." This middle 1960s tune reflects a somewhat harder rockin' style carried well by the electric guitars; and there's also "I Go To Pieces." "I Go To Pieces" is a beautiful love ballad that places Peter & Gordon squarely in the spotlight as the arrangement makes great use of the guitars, flute and more. Great!
"Don't Pity Me" isn't the strongest song on the album; but it is quite well written; and I really like "To Know You Is To Love You." Peter & Gordon sing this ballad in their fine tenor voices; "To Know You Is To Love You" becomes a masterpiece in their capable hands! For a more playful type of song, listen for "Lady Godiva." "Lady Godiva" has a unique twist to the story and I think you'll get a kick out of this song!
"My First Day Alone" repeats the general formula of the two singers harmonizing to perfection; and they sing this awesome song about their feelings after a breakup with their women. "You've Had Better Times" has a great tempo with a great arrangement; and the CD ends really well with "Jokers."
The liner notes may not be an encyclopedia of information but they are better than nothing; and the artwork is well done.
Overall, this is a fine retrospective CD of Peter & Gordon. Their sound was very professional and passionate; they appealed to your senses in a way few duos ever could. I highly recommend this album for fans of this genre of music.
The Ultimate Peter & Gordon August 24, 2007
The best of the Mod male duos. With help from a great song from Lennon and McCartney, (Half the Beatles), It is a great 60's soft rock and roll for a look back at the start of the great English Wave when it hit the states.

It was wonderful hearing the Peter & Gordon hits of the 60's. Great melodies; awesome harmony. It brought back wonderful and happy memories from my teen years.

Hadn't heard this British Merseybeat duo's music in ages. They just remind me so much of Chad&Jeremy. Total of twenty tracks here to check out once again. Some of the cuts I thought were good are "A World Without Love" (possibly their most memorable hit), "Love Me Baby", "I Go To Pieces", "Lady Godiva", "Woman" and the snappy "You've Had Better Times". Didn't REALIZE that Peter&Gordon covered so many other's music,like the Beatles, E.King, Phil Spector, etc. Should definitely appeal to fans of the Seekers, Gerry&The Pacemakers, Herman's Hermits and the Mindbenders.
