Análisis (en inglés) - :
By the 1970s, {$the Drifters} had splintered into several separate touring groups, one of which was led by {$Johnny Moore}. {$Moore}, recognizing that the group had always been popular in Britain, moved there and enlisted {$Bill Fredericks}, {$Gant Kitchings}, and {$Butch Leak} to form yet another incarnation of the group, which then signed to {@Bell Records} in 1973. This set, which spans 1973 to 1978, shows the British {$Drifters} to be but a pale shadow of their earlier configurations, and the material they recorded, a dozen tracks of which are featured here, slides to the bland and near-{\disco} side of things. There are a few glimmers of past glory, most notably on {&"Kissin' in the Back Row of the Movies,"} which has the feel but not quite the accomplished joy of a classic {$Drifters} side, a somewhat overblown version of {$Neil Diamond}'s {&"Sweet Caroline,"} and the {@Motown}-like {&"Looks Like I'm the Clown Again,"} but on the whole, what's collected here hardly lives up to the original group's considerable recorded legacy. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
