Review by: Jim Newsom  Allmusic.com

Although they never had a hit album, the Buckinghams sold more records in 1967 than any American group other than the
Monkees. This collection includes every Buckinghams song you'd want to hear, and more. The disc opens with "Kind of
a Drag," the number one single in the U.S. in February 1967. The band's other pop hits are here as well:
"Don't You Care," "Hey Baby (They're Playing Our Song)," "Susan," and the group's vocal
take on Cannonball Adderley's jazz classic "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy," which reached number five in August. As 1967
ended, so did the band's string of hits. Except for the minor hit "Back in Love Again" from spring 1968, the
band disappeared into oblivion. However, Mercy, Mercy, Mercy includes other worthwhile tracks steeped in the happy
production style of the hits. "Where Did You Come From" and "It's a Beautiful Day (For Lovin')" are
pleasant, optimistic-sounding pop confections, while "Difference of Opinion" and "You" show the
Buckinghams attempting to move beyond their singles-band image in their final recording sessions in 1969. 



The Buckinghams are an American rock band that saw enormous radio popularity from 1965 to 1968, becoming one of the
top-selling rock groups of 1967. In 1965, two high school musicians in Chicago, Illinois, guitarist Carl Giammarese and
bassist Nick Fortuna joined drummer John Poulos, singers George LeGros and Dennis Tufano and keyboardist Dennis Miccolis
in a band called The Pulsations. They soon won a Chicago battle of the bands competition and secured a job as the house
band on local (WGN-TV's) variety show called All-Time Hits. The show's producers suggested they adopt a more
"contemporary" (i.e., British) name, and thanks to the suggestion of a security guard at the television
station, The Buckinghams were born (the name is also that of a notable Chicago landmark, Buckingham Fountain).



In early 1966, the band signed their first record contract with local USA Records and recorded twelve songs that year.
Several were released, including "I'll Go Crazy,"originally recorded by James Brown & The Famous Flames,
"I Call Your Name," and "I've Been Wrong", which received extensive airplay in Chicago. The
Buckinghams gained national exposure with their final single, "Kind of a Drag," written by Chicago-based
songwriter, Jim Holvay, who had been performing with a group called The Mob. "Kind of a Drag" raced up the
local charts then caught fire nationally, eventually spending two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in February,
1967. That single's success also led to USA Records' hasty release of an album, Kind of a Drag with the band's early
recordings. This was followed up by a cover of Lloyd Price’s Lawdy Miss Clawdy, but USA Records had a problem with
distribution.[2] As the group's contract with USA Records came to an end, Miccolis was replaced on keyboards by Marty
Grebb. The band members were also introduced to James William Guercio, formerly the road manager for Chad and Jeremy,
who then signed them to a management contract with his new California-based management company, Ebbins-Guercio
Associates, formed with Garrick Ebbins. The Buckinghams were courted by several record labels before deciding on
promotion specialist Jim Scully, who quickly got them a new contract with Columbia (CBS) Records. Guercio signed on as
the group's producer as well and the William Morris Agency was inked to handle national bookings for tours and TV
appearances.



Although The Buckinghams had already been using a brass section on many of their earlier recordings, created by big band
leader Dan Belloc and arranger Frank Tesinsky, Guercio studied that sound and continued the group's brass-rock studio
sound. Guercio helped to shape the group's signature sound, and the partnership produced four more Top-20 hits in 1967:
"Don't You Care" (#6), "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" (#5), "Hey Baby (They're Playing Our Song)"
(#10) and "Susan" (#8), (three of which were written by Jim Holvay and Gary Beisber). Thanks to Columbia
promotion men including Jim Scully, Ron Alexenburg (later President of Epic Records) and Steve Popovich (later president
of Cleveland International Records), in 1967 The Buckinghams were named by Billboard Magazine as "The Most Listened
to Band in America."



The Buckinghams found themselves disagreeing with Guercio on both creative and financial issues, and so they parted
company. Afterwards, Columbia assigned Staff Producer Jim Wisner to work with the group on their third, and arguably
their best album ("In One Ear and Gone Tomorrow"). Featuring material written by Marty Grebb, Carl Giammarese,
and Dennis Tufano, the album had modest success with the single, "Back in Love Again," but after the break
with Guercio, they were unable to duplicate their 1967 success. The band dissolved in early 1970.~
