## Description

The Bo Street Runners were a mid-60s British R&B/Beat band who issued a string of now-collectable 45s and a privately-pressed #100-rated EP on R. G. Jones&apos; Oak label. The band&apos;s place in the history books was secured by the future careers of drummer Mick Fleetwood and second vocalist Mike Patto. NEVER SAY GOODBYE is the first-ever CD compilation devoted to the band, comprising all their singles plus that rare EP and assorted extra tracks. The compilation has been created with the full cooperation of surviving band members.

    GREAT R&B/MOD/POP  STYLE SINGLES FROM A LEGENDARY BAND
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2014*

Why it's taken so long for the Bo Street Runners (BSR) to have their music reissued is a mystery.  This legendary mid-60's  Mod era band played some pretty tough R&B/Mod style music, even winning the first televised "Ready, Steady, Go!" contest for new bands.  This edition (43+minutes) has the band's singles and their rare EP originally issued on the Oak Records label from 1964-1966.  The remastered sound is very good.  The booklet has an informative essay on the band (including a 'where are they now' section), along with period photos and other ephemera.  Tracks 1-4 comprise their rare EP, plus all the band's singles are here including both versions of "Bo Street Runner" (original single and the "Ready Steady Win" version), plus Mick Fleetwood's first recording experience on the single "Baby Never Say Goodbye/Get Out Of My Way", two tracks featuring vocalist Mike Patto (tracks 13-14) with BSR as his backing band, and finally, two tracks (16-17) taken from rare radio sessions.The BSR were similar to other bands of that period like The Artwoods, The Action, and other R&B style bands that were so popular.  Besides R&B/blues, BSR played more contemporary covers and singles, most all of them still having their tough, no-nonsense sound.  The band had a number of personnel changes but no matter who was in the band their sound never really changed that much except for a few singles that edged into a smoother type of sound.  But a single was issued ("Tell Me What You're Gonna Do/And I Do Just What I Want") using studio musicians that altered the the band's sound greatly.  Players like Tim Hinckley, Mike Patto, and Mick Fleetwood were in the band at various times, but BSR always tried to keep some of that edgy R&B sound on many of their singles.  But for something outside of the R&B mold try "So Very Woman", with it's flute work setting it apart from the band's usual fare.  The band always had a solid rhythm section with some good solos from the sax, guitar, or keyboards on various singles.  The vocals were pretty similar to other bands of the period when bands were emulating blues/R&B performers.  But on songs like "Love" they actually had a lighter, more pop style sound that was a refreshing change--even if the lyrics were typically boy-girl-l love you stuff.  What an innocent age.But for fans of '60s Mod/R&B/blues bands this is well worth adding to your shelf of mid/late 60's English bands.  Check out the two versions of "Bo Street Runner" to hear how the band's sound changed compared to  Willie Dixon's "I Want To Be Loved", which is a tough harmonica/organ-driven workout. And then listen to the radio version of "Baby Never Say Goodbye" for a slice of period Mod/pop/R&B.  If bands like The Artwoods, The Action, The Sorrows, and others from that era are your cup of tea, the BSR  should be next to them on your music shelf.

though  the  claim  to  fame  and  selling  point  for  this  cd  in  press  releases  and  from  rpm  seem  to  pump  MICK  FLEETWOOD  being  an  original  member  are  fine  but  the  music  comes  no  where  near  what  fleetwwod  mac  sounded  like  with  peter  green  but  at  some  points  it  comes  a  bit  close,  over  all  this  is  a  great  mid  60s  british  release  and  a  very  nice  collection  of  MOST  of  what  this  short  lived  outfit  recorded  for  oak  records  some  50  years a go,  i  would  give  this  the  full  5  stars  but  through  a  bit  of  research  and  reading  i  have  done  on  the  bo  street  runners  before  i  bought  this  cd  suggests  NOT  EVERYTHING  they  recorded  made  this  cd,  there  are  a  couple  of  missing  songs  i  read  about  and  well  i  dont  want  to  be  to picky  but  there  are  no  outtakes  or  demos  or  anything  that  has  never  been  released  by  the  bo  street  runners  wich  makes  this  releases  even  more  interesting  but  i  am  very  pleased  with  the  43  minutes  of  music  on  this  cd,  as  with  all  rpm  releases  this  comes  with  a  wonderful  booklet  and  great  remastering  for  the  ultimate  sound  wich  i  something  i  always  have  to  argue  with  audophile  freaks  about,  anyway  the  bo  street  runners  where  another  fantastic  mid  60s  uk  blues  band  with  a  tad  of  soul  added,  i  would  NOT  CALL  THIS  BAND  A  MOD  BAND  from  that  era  even  though  they  did  have  the  look  as  the  photos  show  you,  if  you  where  into  blues  rock  with  a  great  twist  of  hammond  organ  THEN  BUY  THIS  this  is  killer  british  mid  60s  blues  rock  at  its  best,  the  only  other  band  i  can  compare  this  outfit  to  and  what  they  sound  like  is  a  bit  more  of  a  clean  less  bluesy  ANIMALS  (  pre  eric  burdons  animals)  circa  1963  to  66,  if  you  liked  the  first  wave  of  the  animals  this  band  is  very  similar  to  that.

Bo Street Runners was just one of many groups I had heard of in the 60s so I bought this for a bit of  fun. I really like it although it is easy to hear why R and B groups like The Stones and The Pretty Things made it and 'the Runners' never made it big. This CD is well worth the price though.
