The New Sound From England! is a studio album American singer Bobby Vee, and was released in April 1964 by Liberty Records. The album featured the Vee's backup band, The Eligibles. The only single from the album was "I'll Make You Mine".
The album contains original songs as well as The Beatles covers such as "From Me to You" and "She Loves You".[1]
The album reached #146 on the Billboard 200.[2]
"I'll Make You Mine" made its debut on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on February 22, 1964, eventually spending one week at number 52 during its 8-week stay,[3] and number 54 on the Cashbox singles chart.[4] The single was Vee's last best showing until "Look at Me Girl" in 1966, which would also reach number 52 on the Billboard Hot 100.[1]
Billboard mentioned that "[Vee is] singing the Beatles Sound through some of this set."[5]
Cashbox gave a positive review, saying that "Vee gets on the bandwagon to cash in on the click sound as he surveys a bag of rock tunes in the British manner", and calling it "a natural for top sales action".[6]
The Progress-Index wrote that "it was assumed [British invasion artists were] the only ones who knew what this sound was about. In this album Bobby Vee proves otherwise."[7]
The Evening Independent wrote that "Vee may turn back the British invasion with his potent performances".[8]
