"Even though this posting lists this particular title as having one disc, it's actually a 2-CD release. As many of you know, The Herd was Peter Frampton's early band - prior to joining up with Humble Pie. The Herd put out three lp's between 1967-68 and after closely checking out this pressing's total of thirty-one tracks, 'Underworld' looks to feature a good most of the light-weight British pop band's repertoire. Tunes here that I was sort of impressed with were "From The Underworld", "Paradise Lost", "Charlie Anderson", the somewhat inspiring "I Can Fly", "On My Way Home", "Sugarloaf Mountain" and "Understand Me". The Herd wasn't quite what I thought they'd be - but okay. Certainly doesn't suck by any means. Personnel: Peter Frampton-guitar & vocals, Andy Bown-guitar & keyboards, Gary Taylor-bass & vocals and Andrew Steelw {R.I.P.} - drums. Just might pull in fans and followers of the Honeycombs, Kinks, Small Faces and possibly Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich."
