Crimson Gold presents Joe Brown ‘Gold’, the only Joe Brown compilation you’ll ever need.

Joe Brown is the English musician who has being working as a rock and roll singer and guitarist for more than six decades and continues to play over 100 shows every year. Often described as a ‘musician’s musician’, Brown is admired by fellow artists and fans alike. In the early 1960s the hits began to roll in for Joe and his backing band the Bruvvers with tracks such as ‘A Picture Of You’, ‘It Only Took A Minute’ and ‘That’s What Love Will Do’ – all of which are included on this new Gold collection. Brown’s career continued to grow throughout the 60s and included headline British tours that featured the Beatles, Del Shannon and the Crystals.

This definitive 3CD set features 59 tracks including all of the hits and fan favourites.

CD 1 opens with Brown’s number 2 UK hit single ‘A Picture Of You’ from June 1962. The track was originally the B-side to ‘A Lay-About’s Lament’ (also featured here) but became a chart hit in it’s own right and helped put Brown and the Bruvvers on the map. The disc is rounded off with more hits including ‘It Only Took A Minute’ and ‘What A Crazy World We’re Livin’ In’.

CD 2 is packed with more classics including ‘That’s What Love Will Do’ which was another UK top 5 hit for Joe Brown. Other highlights include three collaborations with the legendary Marty Wilde.

CD 3 rounds off the set with more fan favourites including a cover of the Beatles’ ‘With A Little Help From My Friends’. Tracks with an* indicate with The Bruvvers Highlights are also available on a 1LP version, pressed on 180g gold-coloured vinyl.
