Gary Lewis And The Playboys | The Loser (With A Broken Heart) | (Liberty) 1967

“The Loser (With A Broken Heart)” / “Ice Melts The Sun” (Liberty 55949) February 1967

Gary Lewis And The Playboys | The Loser (With A Broken Heart) | (Liberty) 1967 | They just can’t make it big here – but their growing number of fans will surely go for the sad-tinged “The Loser” (Liberty 55949) (Record Mirror, 08/04/67)

Don’t know why it is, but so many of Gary Lewis and the Playboys‘ discs sound the same! Actually, “The Loser” (Liberty) is better than usual, because it has a hectic, driving up-tempo beat and generates much more enthusiasm than most of his records. Great stuff for energetic dancing, but little tune. (NME, 08/04/67)

Gary Lewis sounds like the Monkees on “The Loser” (Liberty). (Disc & Music Echo, 08/04/67)
