A question I often ask with Freddie & The Dreamers is "what were they thinking?", and this album is no exception. Who is this for? Who would buy this? They were already fading from the British charts, and the ever-changing consciousness of the British record-buying public, so with this album, they should be trying to get their audience back. Instead, they committed "pop band suicide" by releasing this puzzling piece of crap. As I've stated before, some of the group's best material went unreleased in the U.K., which makes schlock like this all the more incomprehensible.
If you compare the release dates of this album and "Beach Boys Party", it seems almost as if the group was trying to re-create that. But I have an amazing revelation: Freddie & The Dreamers are NOT the Beach Boys! That album was fun! They covered new, hip songs! Bob Dylan! The Beatles! Everly Brothers! These are songs that work with the band. Freddie & co. chose to cover old show tunes and big band songs, most of which weren't any good to begin with. The teen audience that they (previously) had would've hated these songs. To them, these songs represented everything wrong with their parent's generation. So was this album marketed to parents? That would be even more astounding.
And to add insult to injury, the arrangements are awful! They're a dreadful mix of beat music and big band jazz that doesn't work even remotely. Some of the instruments used on this album include piano, trombone, clarinet, tuba, and saxophone, all playing the most cliche ragtime parts that I've ever heard. Even the drums are stuck in 1940.
In conclusion, whose idea was this? This album disgusts me. I want to scream at the band and tell them to leave whatever studio they made this in. Listening to this is like watching a car crash in slow motion, except it's less fun for everyone involved.

 The medley of If You Gotta Make A Fool.../Over You/I'm Telling You Now is really good! The remainder belongs to the worst of the band's output IMHO...

 In all my life, I can honestly say I have never EVER seen a copy of this album and this is the first time I'm learning of it's existence! I get the distinct feeling it's no lost cult classic either and the fact it's never been reissued gives a strong indication of what I fear this is like!

That balloon in front of Freddie looks a little on the suggestive side!
