Formed as The Age in the late 1960s in the gritty north London neighbourhoods of Wood Green and Tottenham, teen glam band Hello signed to Bell Records after being auditioned at home by Argent’s lead singer Russ Ballard, the concept being that the band would be supplied with original material by former Zombies manager, David Blaylock, a sure-fire formula that gave them strong overseas followings. This essential compilation gathers the best of the singles they cut for Bell, as well as more obscure rarities, the resulting picture capturing the group in all their glam rock glory, from prime beginnings to bittersweet end.
