Signing to Decca in 1965, Crispian broke through with the UK No. 2 hit \u003ci\u003eYou Were On My Mind\u003c\/i\u003e in 1966 (it also made the Top 40 Stateside), followed by perhaps his most famous song, \u003ci\u003eThe Pied Piper,\u003c\/i\u003e which was Top 5 on both sides of the Atlantic. He also had a minor UK \/ US hit with \u003ci\u003eChanges. The Pied Piper\u003c\/i\u003e does exactly what it says on the package: for the first time, this remastered 2-CD set offers Crispian's complete recorded output for various labels across nigh on a decade, starting with early singles \u003ci\u003eAt This Moment \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eNo, No, No\u003c\/i\u003e and ending with a one-off single for Santa Ponsa. Both of Crispian's albums are represented in their entirety: his 1966 Decca album \u003ci\u003eFollow Me...\u003c\/i\u003e (issued in similar form on Jamie in the US as The Pied Piper); and his scarce 1970 album for the obscure Square label, \u003ci\u003eSimply Crispian St. Peters\u003c\/i\u003e. Several recordings on this authoritative 51-track package make their debut on CD. Also included are his single under the pseudonym Country Smith, and several tracks boasting sessioneers Jimmy Page and Big Jim Sullivan on guitar. \u003ci\u003eThe Pied Piper\u003c\/i\u003e offers Crispian St. Peters's entire recordings from 1965-1974 in one place, remastered with detailed sleeve-notes in the accompanying booklet. Sadly, Crispian passed away in 2010 but this new package offers a fitting epitaph to his musical legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rpm","offers":[{"title":"CD | x2","offer_id":50467666526539,"sku":"371333","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/1be527f7-2bc3-4b10-b97a-30907f707f0d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727340447","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/the-pied-piper-the-complete-recordings-1965-1974","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
