CD ReviewsOne great single and a lot of filler R. Riis | NY | 08/05/2001 (2 out of 5 stars) "First Class were singer-for-hire Tony Burrows (Edison Lighthouse, Flying Machine, Brotherhood of Man) and studio musicians. Apart from "Beach Baby", an inspirred bit of Beach Boys pastiche that sounded great on the radio in 1974, the rest is pretty much middling fare. You'll find "Beach Baby" and an additional First Class track or two in better company on "Bubblegum Classics, Vol. 5"." Good light nostalgia for us 60's and 70s era pre-teens :) mermaid | USA | 04/08/2007 (3 out of 5 stars) "I loved the song "Beach Baby" and still love it now.
I had never heard any of the other songs, but I enjoyed them just the same. What can you say the songs are a product of the "bubblegum" times, and that's ok. Everything doesn't have to have the Rolling Stone Magazine stamp of approval. For some of us women of a "certain age" it's definitely a guilty pleasure...some of the songs are kind of like vintage (70s era) Rick Springfield,the New Vaudeville Band or even the Beach Boys...all performers I enjoy to this very day." |
