Them - северо-ирландская группа, образованная в апреле 1964 года в Белфасте. Группа наиболее известна хитом "Gloria" в стиле гаражный рок и как группа, где началась профессиональная музыкальная карьера Вэн Моррисона. В США Them причисляют к группам британского вторжения.
Сначала группа выступал в гостинице «Maritime», где играл динамичный, острый ритм-энд-блюз. Их демо-плёнка, на которой была записана растянутая версия произведения «Lovelight», обратила внимание известного менеджера Фила Соломона, решившего представлять интересы группы. Соломон уговорил Дика Роуа из фирмы «Decca» заключить соглашение и тогда члены Them переехали в Лондон.
В июле 1964 года Райксена и Миллингса заменили братья Патрик Маколи (Patrick McAuley, ударные) и Джеки Маколи (Jackie McAuley, фортепиано).
Через два месяца появился дебютный сингл «Don’t Start Crying Now», который однако не получил коммерческого успеха. Другая судьба постигла другой сингл «Baby Please Don’t Go», который был издан в феврале 1965 года, и в записи которого приняли участие такие сессионные музыканты, как Джимми Пейдж и Питер Барденс. Это произведение звучало очень здорово и на некоторое время стало главным произведением известной британской музыкальной телепрограммы «Ready Steady Go», a также взлетело в британский Тор 10.
Очередная композиция «Gloria», которую написал Ван Моррисон, была дифирамбом в честь молодёжной страсти. Следующий сингл с композицией ветерана ритм-энд-блюза Берта Бёрнса — «Here Comes The Night» — дошёл до второго места британского чарта. Хотя группе пророчили долгую и успешную карьеру, внутренние разногласия между участниками Them негативно повлияли на дальнейшее развитие группы. В результате группу покинул ещё перед записью первого альбома Джеки Маколик, которого заменил Питер Барденс.
Очередные синглы не в состоянии были удержать популярность группы и перед выходом второго лонгплэя «Them Again» в группе произошли новые изменения. К Моррисону и Хендерсону присоединились Джим Армстронг — гитары; Рей Элли (Ray Elliom, саксофон), клавишные и Джон Уилсон (John Wilson), ударные. Позже место Уилсона занял Дэйв Харви (Dave Harvey). Однако после турне по Америке 1966 года и конфликта с Соломоном этот состав Them распался._________• Van Morrison - lead vocals_________• Ronnie Milling - drums (1963 - 65)_________• John McAuley - drums (1965 - 66)_________• Billy Harrison - guitar_________• Jackie McAuley - keyboards (1963 - 65)_________• Peter Bardens - keyboards (1966)_________• Alan Henderson - bass guitarallmusic.com
Them were a formidable, popular group in their own right before singer Van Morrison went on to even greater fame.
This Belfast five only produced two LPs and a potful of 7" singles during its ascendance in the molten heat of the British Invasion. But they did manage two Top 40 hits in America in 1965 (the enduring number 24 "Here Comes the Night," later covered glam-style by David Bowie on Pin Ups, and number 33 "Mystic Eyes") and two Top Ten hits that same year in their native Britain ("Here Comes the Night" and a cover of Joe Williams' "Baby Please Don't Go").
And is there a single bar band in America that doesn't play "Gloria," shouting "G-L-O-R-I-A" just like the 19-year-old Morrison in 1964? Moreover, the group's West Coast U.S. tour of arenas like the Fillmore in the spring of 1966 had the Ulster youths commanding bills that included such admiring support groups as the Doors, Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band, the Grass Roots, and the Association.
At one of them, Frank Zappa even joined them on-stage. Clearly, Them's tough, heavily American blues captivated, a direct result of the vicious voice of Morrison. It was even more a weapon on this tougher-sounding material than it's been since he became a solo star.
Although the band chose songs to cover by John Lee Hooker, Jimmy Reed (twice), T-Bone Walker, Ray Charles, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and Fats Domino, as seen here (as well as others by Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, and Bobby Troup), the real precedent for the white-hot, gnashing growl in Morrison's teenage voice was Howlin' Wolf. Here's a red-throated snarl not even other great '60s English white soul singers -- such as the Small Faces' Steve Marriott or the singer for the Action -- could match, one even more unsettling than the Animals' Eric Burdon.
Talk about making the hairs on your neck stand up! It's actually a pity, then, that Them relied so heavily on others' material (as did everyone else circa 1964), for the two dozen originals stand up well.
In addition to "Gloria," Morrison was well on the road to his later genius when he penned "Could You, Would You" and "Hey Girl."
True, his material could stand to rock & roll more, just as the Yardbirds held fast to Chicago blues but made their beat stomp.
But still he comes on like some swamp-dwelling, moonshine-drinking, big man on the prowl. Them were raw and ready, and digitally brought back kicking and screaming from the original analogue master tapes, they are an eerie thing of bluesy beauty. ~ by Jack Rabid ♪ DISC ONE: 1.

PRODUCERS NOTE:I (we) have obviously tried to gather together as many true stereo mixes as possible for this compilation, while staying clear of what was then called ''Electronic Stereo" (or pseudo stereo in the USA) but in a number of cases either the stereo mix did not exist or the existing mono version was better quality. The opening track is a case in point where the original mono mix was chosen.
The majority of first generation master mixes came from the vaults at Decca studios in London, but a great source of clean stereo mixes was found by Bill Levenson in New York. These were assembled at Mediasound studios in December 1972 and were probably remixed there at the time from 4-traek tapes.
Times Getting Tougher1, 'Stormy Monday' and 'Friday's Child' only seem to exist in Electronic Stereo. Tracks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24 are mono on CD 1, as are all the tracks on CD 2 except 2. 3, 23 and the above mentioned 15. 16 and 17.
For the interest of audiophiles, much can now be done to enhance and repair the sonic quality of tapes with P.C. based digital tools. For example, the piano introduction to 'Route 66' was originally recorded with distortion but is now almost clean, and the introductions to 'Bring 'em On In' and 'Richard Cory' are now clear of the loud tape and amplifier hiss that spoiled previous releases.~ Jon Astley
