If Music Be The Food Of Love
About This Album
This reissue of Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich's sophomore effort, If Music Be the Food of Love...Then Prepare for Indigestion (1968) contains the 12 tracks from the original long-player, as well as a whopping 14 bonus cuts, including 7"-only sides and rare stereo mixes. This title is the second in a series of three discs aimed at restoring the entire Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich catalog. Although Dave "Dee" Harman (guitar/vocals), Trevor "Dozy" Davies (bass), John "Beaky" Diamond (rhythm guitar), Michael "Mick" Wilson (drums), and Ian "Tich" Amey (lead guitar) failed to make much of an impression in the United States, their success throughout Europe is arguably more indicative of the combo's strong tunes and equally formidable execution. The group's style ranges from the rhythmically aggressive Brit-pop opener, "Bang," to the gentle and lyrical "All I Want" and the edgier proto-freakbeat of "Hideaway" and "Hands Off!" There are likewise slight excursions such as the distinctly Baroque-flavored and ultimately tongue-in-cheek "Loos of England" and the oddly Mediterranean "Bend It.
