ALL MUSIC 4 STAR REVIEW ... The Belfast Gypsies' career lasted a bit over a year, but their history was remarkably convoluted for a group so short-lived. In 1965, the members of the great Irish R&B band Them were feuding, leading them to split into two factions. Both versions of the group were touring the U.K. as Them until a legal decision gave Van Morrison's version the rights to the name. The Swedish label gave the LP the confusing title Them, and record stores filed it with their former band's releases more often than not. Given the strange story of the Belfast Gypsies' sole album, one might not expect much from the finished product, but the truth is, Them is a solid and satisfying blast of U.K. R&B, and better than the albums the post-Morrison Them would release. Keyboard player and lead singer Jackie McAuley at his best he was a fierce R&B howler, and his brother Pat McAuley, moving from keys to drums, was an energetic and imaginative percussionist. Add Ken McLeod's razor-sharp guitar on numbers like "Gloria's Dream" and "People, Let's Freak Out" and Mark Scott's steady, muscular bass work and you get a band that was well-versed in R&B, blues, freakbeat, and garage-centric rock. Them (or Them Belfast Gypsies, as some fans call it) deserves a wider hearing and better exposure than it received in 1967; if they had stuck around for a few years, it's not hard to imagine they could have matured into serious rivals to the Pretty Things.
