Description
With his finely-chiselled features, fiercely-sharp cheekbones, continental haircut, garbled enunciation and mangled vowels, singer/actor Adam Faith was the UK's second most popular teen idol, to Cliff Richard, in the pre-Beatles era. This compilation rounds up all his A and B-sides from his singles between 1958 and 1962.
Included are his other hits, "Someone Else's Baby", "When Johnny Comes Marching Home", "Made You", "How About That", "Lonely Pup", "Who Am I", "This is It", "Easy Going Me", "Don't You Know It", "The Time Has Come", "Lonesome", "As You Like It", "Don't That Beat All" and "Baby Take a Bow".
Also included are a couple of killer bonus tracks from the 1961 'Beat Girl' soundtrack, the cult teen angst movie in which Adam made his acting debut.
Most of these songs were written by Johnny Worth (aka Les Vandyke) and were arranged and produced by John Barry.
Although his first few 45s stiffed, his fourth and fifth, "What Do You Want" and "Poor Me", both topped the UK charts, and he followed with fifteen further UK hits over the next two-and-a-half years.
