2015 collection. Originally hailing from Kent, Vanity Fare were a Harmony Pop band that enjoyed significant success in both the UK and abroad during the late 1960 's and early 1970 's. The band's biggest worldwide hit was "Hitchn' a Ride" in 1970, which reached #16 in the UK and # 5 in the USA (where it sold a million copies alone). Their British smash was another million seller, "Early in the Morning," which peaked at #8 and #12 in America. Named after their debut UK hit from 1968, I Live for the Sun is most comprehensive collection of Vanity Fare recordings to date, kicking off with two rare pre-Vanity Fare recordings by the Sages from 19866 and offering some rare bonus tracks by later line-up and a solo spin-off, too, by Trevor Brice as well as some B-sides new to CD.
