Herman's Hermits: The Best Of Herman's Hermits (EMI CDEMTV 200)
One of the first acts from Manchester to make a big impression were Herman's Hermits, a tuneful ensemble whose Mickie Most-produced hits featured the vocals of Peter Noone. The best of the group's Sixties output and Noone's 1970 solo hit version of David Bowie's Oh! You Pretty Things have been remastered for this compilation which will be supported by a TV advertising campaign. Highlights include fellow Mancunian Graham Gouldman's No Milk Today, I'm Into Something Good and Silhouettes.

Bad Manners: Walking In The Sunshine - The Best Of (Music Club Deluxe MCDLX 085)
With Buster Bloodvessel as their focal point, Bad Manners were tongue- in-cheek fellow travellers of the ska and 2-Tone movement. This 36- song, two-CD set includes all nine of the Top 40 hits they recorded for Lord Levy's Magnet label in the early Eighties, as well as album tracks and B-sides, many on CD for the first time. Songs like Ne-Ne Na-Na Na- Na Nu-Nu, Lip Up Fatty and their version of The Can Can may not win any prizes but they do bring a smile to ...
