British Invasion: History of British Rock, Vol. 8 relies more on obscurities than its immediate predecessor, but the obscurities that are here are terrific -- Simon DuPree's "Kites," John's Children's "Desdemona," Tomorrow's "My White Bicycle" and the Moles' "We Are the Moles" are fine singles, even if they may sound a bit dated today. Nevertheless, the primarily appeal of the compilation is the hits and there's a lot of them: the Spencer Davis Group's "I'm a Man," Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love," the Hollies' "Dear Eloise," the Troggs' "Love is All Around," Donovan's "Hurdy Gurdy Man," Procol Harum's "Whiter Shade of Pale," the Bee Gees' "New York Mining Disaster 1941," Status Quo's "Pictures of Matchstick Men," Eric Burdon & the Animals' "San Franciscan Nights," the Moody Blues' "Nights in White Satin" and the Move's "Flowers in the Rain." There are also some latter-day singles from Peter & Gordon and the Animals, as well as an early cut from Cat Stevens, that are curious but not necessarily good, but they are minor flaws in another splendid entry in one of the greatest various-artists series in rock. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
