I recall when I first dropped the needle on Don't Take Your Time...immediately after hearing that 2/4 polka drum beat I thought one word: Herb. I was then surprised to hear nothing remotely TJB in sound. I do recall appreciating Love So Fine much more after hearing Nichols' version.I had the same first reaction as JO. At first spin, it sounded really hokey and plastic. But the songs are so good, I kept listening, and now it’s one of my favorites
To me "Love So Fine" is the Standout thanks to hearing Herb's Version first I finally got to hear Nichols version in 2016 and I was hookedI recall when I first dropped the needle on Don't Take Your Time...immediately after hearing that 2/4 polka drum beat I thought one word: Herb.

Right you are Harry"Love So Fine" by Nichols is pure pop perfection in under two minutes!
Yeah, put it on - and set it for repeat. After two or so listens, the songs will become more familiar, and the harmonic arrangements will start impressing.I need to listen to this one again. I first got intrigued by it from seeing the Roger Nichols name on A&M innersleeves, and then finding out who he was by seeing songwriter credits. So when the CD-with-bonus-tracks came out, I decided to get it along with a few other Japan items at the same time. But I don't really remember being that impressed with it or remember much about it. It could be like the Pisano and Ruff CD -- might not grow on a person immediately.
By way of NYC.there's a band that sounds exactly like the Small Circle of Friends called the Cyrkle
Then there's this Bacharach song, which is a knockout. Aside from this version, I've never heard It Doesn't Matter Anymore...anywhere.
