The Newbeats' third album was anchored by their 1965 smash hit 'Run Baby Run,' which had a sort of Four Seasons-meets-Motown sound. The rest of the record was, unfortunately, rather typical of the hasty way in which many rock LPs of the time were filled out. There were about half-a-dozen extraneous covers of mid-'60s hits by the likes of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Roy Orbison, and the Supremes. A handful of other mediocre numbers drew lightly on contemporary influences like Merseybeat, Motown (particularly on 'This Old Heart'), Tommy Tucker's 'Hi-Heel Sneakers' (whose gait is aped in 'Lookin' for Love'), and the Four Seasons, all using one of the shrillest male tto voices (Larry Henley's) to grace 1960s rock recordings. [Ace's 2004 CD reissue added 15 bonus tracks, all taken from 1965-1968 singles. For the most part they were mainstream pop/rock efforts in varying styles, from Motown-lite and a near Middle Eastern polka hybrid called 'Short on Love' to a cover of the Everly Brothers' 'Bird Dog.' There was also a mono version of 'Run Baby Run' and a number called 'Swinger' that sounded like a rejected James Bond theme.]
