“You Ain’t As Hip As All That Baby” / “Nature Boy” (United Artists UP 1178) April 1967
Jay And The Americans | You Ain’t As Hip As All That Baby | (United Artists) 1967 | This is a big-build dramatic ballad. Sung in throbbing Orbison-like tones, with chanting, strings and tambourine, it’s quite well done – but a wee bit corny. At times it sounds rather like the Bachelors. (NME, 08/04/67)
Rather a dreary scene all round and not calculated to boost the group’s chances. (Record Mirror, 08/04/67)
A nice line in gentle bitterness. (Disc & Music Echo, 08/04/67)
