New Zealand Pop Of The Sixties: The Simple Image - Spinning Spinning Spinning (The Complete Simple Image) (2001 His Master's Voice)

This album gathers together for the first time on CD this quintessential Kiwi band’s entire output for HMV. Their first single ‘Two Kinds Of Lover' made it to the Top 20 in 1968, while the second single ‘Spinning, Spinning, Spinning’ made it to Number 1 and stayed there for a month.All the singles and their B-sides are included, as well as their last single on Columbia EMI. The original album art has been retained as it is considered by many to be a true classic for the period.

To cap it off two unreleased songs are included.
Spinning Spinning Spinning shot to number one in June, 1968, with a unique new sound producer Howard Gable had created in using a phasing technique in the chorus. The record spent a month at the top, fighting off competition from The Small Faces and The Rolling Stones.The Little Bell That Cried, reached number nine in October, 1968, and The Grooviest Girl In The World charted top three in March, 1969. The Simple Image were awarded the group award for Entertainer Of The Year in 1969.

 With their mod image of navy blue capes with pink lining, floral shirts, bell bottom trousers and cuban heeled boots, they remained teenybopper favourites but Michael and the Slipper Tree would be the groups final success when it peaked at number seven in September of 1969.(newzealandcds.com)

The album can't really be called'' psychedelic'', although of course some songs of the sixties are popsike of the time back then. For the most part, there is a lot of sixties pop that is fun and catapulted the band to the top of the charts at that time.(Frank)
