While Humperdinck's track record was certain with hits like \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eI'm A Better Man\u003c\/span\u003e and \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eRelease Me,\u003c\/span\u003e by the early 70's Humperdinck was receding from the charts. This 1976 effort changed all of that and was an impressive debut for his new label. The title track, a surprise hit from early 1976, slightly updated his style with a classy though middle of the road ballad. \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eLet's Remember The Good Times\u003c\/span\u003e isn't a wistful ballad but a hyper disco styled exercise. The biggest surprise of \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eAfter The Lovin'\u003c\/span\u003e is the origin and sound of some of its tracks. \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eThis Is What You Mean To Me\u003c\/span\u003e and \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eWorld Without Music\u003c\/span\u003e were produced and written by Philadelphia producer Bobby Eli and were recorded at the legendary Sigma Sound Studios. Although Philippe Wynne had nothing to worry about the tracks put Humperdinck to the test and he delivered thoughtful and soulful vocals. Despite the big hit and the change of recording venues, \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eAfter The Lovin's\u003c\/span\u003e best track is an emotional, multi-layered ballad. Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield's \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eThe Hungry Years\u003c\/span\u003e has the plaintive lyrics and melody a perfect match for Humperdinck's phrasing as he seemed to enjoy singing it. \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eAfter The Lovin'\u003c\/span\u003e marked a new chapter and label for Humperdinck and he responded with his biggest hit and batch of strong performances. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Record Vision","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52793756188953,"sku":"PE-34381","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/6937\/8329\/files\/LP-engelbert_humperdinck-after_the_lovin.jpg?v=1783554510","url":"https:\/\/record-vision.myshopify.com\/products\/pe-34381","provider":"Record Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
