Semper Fi, Mac.......2007-08-05

First conceived at a U.S. Marine Base on Okinawa by Walter Vickers and Rodney Taylor, once back Stateside at Camp Lejeune, N.C. they recruited Rudolph Johnson and Billy Hill and, before getting an audition with Roulette Records, added Anita Humes, who hailed from Harrisburg, Pa.

Their initial release was credited simply to The Essex, and the unusual staccato-like delivery of Easier Said Than Done (b/w Are You Going My Way?) made them an instant success as it shot to # 1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B charts in July 1963, spending two weeks straight at each top position and a total of 28 weeks on the charts.

For their next release Roulette billed them as The Essex Featuring Anita Humes, and while it was nowhere as successful as their début hit, A Walkin' Miracle (b/w What I Don't Know Won't Hurt Me) turned in a respectable # 11 R&B/# 12 Hot 100 in September 1963.

But by December they were among the first North American groups to be swept aside by the initial wave of the British Invasion as She's Got Everything (b/w Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind) could only manage a # 56 Hot 100/R&B in December.

After that - nothing. You can easily find their two big hits on any number of multi-artist compilations, but if you want all three of their charters and their flipsides, this is about the only place you're apt to find them. Besides, their renditions of the Lymon hit Why Do Fools Fall In Love? as well as We Belong Together and Been So Long (originally done by Robert & Johnnie and The Pastels) aren't bad.

Surprisingly enjoyable.......2007-08-02

I liked and was familiar with the two title songs, but nothing else featured on this CD. My sister suggested that I would enjoy this CD and she was right since it has quickly become a favorite of mine. The songs are great with that "sixties" sound and beat.

EASIER SAID THAN DONE.......2005-10-07

WHILE STATIONED AT CAMP LEJENUE,ANITA WAS ASSIGNED TO MY DEPARTMENT. SHE WAS VERY PLEASANT AND COOPERATIVE, ALWAYS IN A GOOD MOOD,OVERALL A GREAT EMPLOYEE. IT IS NOT SURPRISING THAT HER SINGING HAS SUCH A JOYFUL LILT. IT WAS ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO SEE HER PERFORM ON THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW OR OTHER VARIETY SHOWS OF THE ERA. THE SONGS ON THIS CD REALLY SHOW THE SCOPE OF HER ABILITIES AS HER STYLE CHANGES QUICKLY FROM SULTRY TO SEXY TO PLAYFUL TO ROMANTIC...YOU NAME IT, SHE'S GOT IT. ANITA, WHEREVER LIFE HAS TAKEN YOU, I HOPE YOU ARE STILL SINGING!

This is IT !!.......2003-12-19

This is THE album to get immediatly if you are into Vital Information or fusion in general. Absolutly the best album from the band, totally mindblowing. EXCEPTIONAL release. Perfect musicianship from all the guys in the band, Coster and Gambale above all the rest. Incredible jazz-fusion performances! Every track here is a marvel. Some are calm and incredibly evocative (Necessary Autumn, Chimes, The church of Milan), some are fiery jazz performances of the highest caliber (New boots). The album has been released in 1992 (I received it as present for the Christmas of that year from my brother, I treasure it, thanx bro !!! ) but it is not dated at all. The band did never release a better album than this one in my opinion still if they have produced memorable albums since then. I own them all. But this is IT. Absolutly my personal favourite. Gambale was at the top of his game. Coster is simply astounding. He is an INCREDIBLE musician. Too much taste, too much chops, too much ideas for a mere human. Fantastic !! Obviously Andrews and Smith provided an excellent rhythmn section job. This is a difficult gem to find, but what are you waiting for? Go out and search for it in all used cds shops in town!! It is EX-CEP-TIO-NAL fusion/jazzfusion music!!! GO! GO! GO!
