Breaking Down the Walls of Heartache [Import]
Johnny Johnson & The
CD
Despite being virtually unknown in their USA homeland, the upbeat pop-soul of Johnny Johnson and the Bandwagon was a regular feature of the UK charts in the late 60s and early 70's. Consistent touring and promotion of their new releases kept Johnny & Co in the spotlight from 1968 through the first half of the 1970's, and with and without the Bandwagon Johnny Johnson scored more than half a dozen UK Top 40 hits in a four year period - considerably more than many of more famous soul contemporaries. Amazingly, there has never been a legitimate CD issue of the Bandwagon's best moments before. Kent's compilation gathers together the best of their recordings for the two labels they are most associated with, Epic and Bell, and includes all of the hits and near-hits as well as JJ's album-only versions of hits for the Foundations, the Brotherhood of Man and the Hollies.
