Though it's been outclassed by 2001's The Ultimate Peter & Gordon, Rhino's The Best of Peter & Gordon from a decade earlier is still one of the best collections of the British Invasion group's work. Along with their Lennon/McCartney-penned hits "A World Without Love," "Nobody I Know," and "I Don't Want to See You Again," it also features their other big singles "Go to Pieces," "Woman," and "Lady Godiva," as well as smaller hits like "The Jokers" and some album tracks and B-sides. While some of their more orchestrated songs, like their versions of "True Love Ways," "To Know You Is to Love You," and "Baby I'm Yours," sound a little stiff and dated, all of their early hits and many of their later songs still sound pretty fresh. In particular, "Knight in Rusty Armour" and the pretty folk of "The Flower Lady" have held up well, as has the mod psychedelia of "I Feel Like Going" and the brash "You've Had Better Times." While it's no longer the definitive single-disc Peter & Gordon collection, The Best of Peter & Gordon is still quite good, and its best songs are a welcome reminder of how the duo helped define the poppier side of the British Invasion. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi
