Time has consigned
Whitcomb to the one-hit wonders bin for his 1965 hit "You Turn Me On." His debut album did nothing to counteract that perception, with paper-thin British R&B alternating between hybrids of pop-rock and British pub music, as well as covers of "Be My Baby" and "That Is Rock N' Roll" that walked a very thin line between ineptitude and parody. This does include
Whitcomb's only two other rock singles to even make the lower region of the charts ("This Sporting Life" and "Nervous"), along with one of his better LP cuts ("Too Many Cars on the Road") and the anti-war song that
Whitcomb wanted to be a single instead of "You Turn Me On" ("No Tears for Johnny"). But all four of the best cuts (the three singles and "Too Many Cars on the Road") are on the Rhino best-of compilation, which is still the recommended alternative.
You Turn Me On and its follow-up LP, Mod, Mod Music Hall, were combined onto one CD by Sundazed in 1997.
