Opening on their singles, we first enjoy the tender pop sounds of You�re The One (which was also featured in the Queen�s Gambit), the heartfelt Some Words and a song ahead of its time, the always brilliant to hear Five O�Clock World, the lads next offer up the gentle hipsway of Nothing To Offer You, which they follow with the soaring vocalizations within Magic Town, the cool beats of Humpty Dumpty, the infectious melodies within The Land Of Milk And Honey, before launching into the uptempo True Lovers, the gorgeous harmonies of Please Mr. Sun, the pleasant sound of Don�t Blame The Rain, and then we get the under-rated, and their last CO & CE single, That�s The Tune.

Along next is the killer harmonized tune Midnight Dreams, the atmospherically-imbued Summer Afternoon (of which The Sandpipers and The Association also do great versions of this song, albeit called Autumn Afternoon), and the vibrant Take A Chance On Me Baby, and they are seamlessly backed by the Beach Boys-esque qualities within Lovers Of The World Unite, the drum-led Brighter Days, before we enter into the more section of the new collection.

Up first here is the languishing You Baby (also covered by The Turtles and The Mamas & the Papas, et al.) up first, and followed by the embracing, free-flowing Bonnie�s Part Of Town, the low key doowop of Autumn (a small regional hit for The Thomas Group), the pop-tastic Where Did We Go Wrong, the set rounding out on the earnest How Wonderful Our Love Is, a faster beat within Lonely Mixed-Up Girl, coming to a close on a track unreleased for four decades before now, the heartbreaking outreach of Come And Get Me.

What is now Equinox spent years under a desk in California. Luckily, once Formed in high school as The Val-Aires in 1958, Bill Burkette, Don Miller, Hugh Geyer, and Chuck Blasko recorded their first single for a local label.

They were successful enough that in time, they found themselves performing on television, as well as on bills with The Drifters, The Platters, and The Dells.

After school, members of the group joined the Army or went to college, but instead of going their separate ways, they found themselves coming back together and decided to record again, this time renamed as The Vogues.

Producer Nick Cenci (Tommy James And The Shondells, Lou Christie) took them into the studio to record a cover of Petula Clark�s �You�re The One,� originally released on Blue Star Records. That track led to The Vogues signing with Co & Ce Records, and with new distribution, the single reached #4 on the charts.

Their follow-up single, �Five O�Clock World� achieved the same chart position and stayed in the public eye for decades after with its use in the films Good Morning, Vietnam and Big Fish, and perhaps most importantly, as the theme to The Drew Carey Show.

Hit covers by other artists followed including versions by Hal Ketchum and Julian Cope. In addition to those smash hits, The Vogues also released 5 non-LP singles, including the Top 30 �The Land Of Milk And Honey.�

After their run with Co & Ce, the group moved on to Reprise Records, scoring a pair of Top 10 singles in 1968. They called Reprise home until 1970, and released four albums for the label. In 2001, they were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame.
