British Invasion: History of British Rock pretty much follows a loose chronological order, which makes the presence of two tracks the Beatles recorded with Tony Sheridan in the early '60s ("Ain't She Sweet," "My Bonnie") on this collection of mid-'60s hits a little disconcerting. They break the mood, but they don't really devalue the disc, since there are so many great singles here. Granted, there aren't as many big hits as its immediate predecessor, but the ones that are here -- Petula Clark's "Downtown," Tom Jones' "It's Not Unusual," Wayne Fontana's "Game of Love," Them's "Baby Please Don't Go" and "Gloria," the Moody Blues' "Go Now," Dusty Springfield's "I Only Want to Be With You," Donovan's "Sunshine Superman" -- are terrific. Furthermore, the obscurities and smaller hits, from Georgie Fame's "Yeh, Yeh" and the Tornadoes' "Telstar" to the Pretty Things' "Road Runner" and the Mojos' "Everything's Alright," are very good, making this another fine installment in a generally excellent series. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
