Them were one of the very best R&B acts to come out of the U.K. during the British Invasion era, as tight, wiry, and potent as their contemporaries the Rolling Stones, the Animals, and the Pretty Things.
But as good as they were, their greatest strength was always their lead singer and main songwriter, Van Morrison, who even in his earliest days boasted a style that was raw and unapologetic but full of street smarts and imagination. Morrison’s run with Them lasted a bit more than 2 and a half years, but it laid the groundwork for his wildly idiosyncratic solo career as well as setting a standard that the band would never equal after he left to strike out on his own. There have been plenty of collections devoted to Morrison’s tenure with Them, but The Complete Them: 1964-1967 is not only comprehensive but has Van’s seal of approval, as it was assembled by Morrison’s own team and features liner notes from the man himself. Sequenced chronologically, The Complete Them devotes its first two discs to the group’s two albums of the period, Them (aka The Angry Young Them) and Them Again, as well as non-LP single and EP tracks.

Disc two is devoted to demos, alternate takes, and some live tracks cut for BBC Radio, nearly all of them previously unreleased. According to Morrison’s notes, Them’s lineup was never consistent, especially in the studio, as the group’s producers often brought in studio musicians (including Jimmy Page) to beef up the performances, but the product was both consistent and strong, with razor-sharp guitars and swirling organs dominating the arrangements and Morrison’s vocals sounding nearly possessed. Having essentially all of Them’s studio recordings in one place is great, but the bonus material offers a glimpse of their power as a live act, and the outtakes and alternate versions reveal the growing sophistication of Morrison’s approach over the course of 24 tracks. Morrison’s essay offers as much opinion as it does fact, but given his well-documented reticence, the fact he wrote the notes at all is impressive, and when he sums up his notes with “I think of Them as good records…there’s a lot of good stuff here,” he’s absolutely right.

As a history of an underappreciated band’s greatest era or the first steps of one of rock’s most individual artists, The Complete Them: 1964-1967 is essential listening.
