BRITISH REVIEWS of MAYBE TOMORROW (the song):
DISC & MUSIC ECHO (November 23, 1968) by Penny Valentine:
A new release from Apple is always looked forward to--mainly because they don’t flood
the market with rubbish--hurray! This is as good as you could wish--very gentle,
very warm, super lead singer who sounds like McCartney and very, very pretty. It's
not the old hit number but it floats away on strings. Winnie the Pooh, who wished
he was a little cloud, would love it. That's what it makes you feel like.
NME:
Knowing what Apple has already achieved, we look to any newcomers on the label with
interest. And the Iveys don't let us down. This is a pungent beat-ballad with a rather
wistful lyric--in which the initial sadness eventually gives way to hope. Pleasant
vocal blend, though I thought the soloist's exaggerated soul contributions were a
little overdone. And the gorgeous stringy scoring is positively scintillating.
HERALD OF WALES (November 23, 1968):
Swansea's group men full of praise this week for The Iveys Apple release Maybe
Tomorrow and we agreed with them. A first -class debut effort which we've put
our shirts on for a chart entry.
Their tremendous vocal capacity has been given extra polish by fine arrangements
from a string orchestra and no self-respecting Disc Jockey can afford not to include
it in his show. A good melody is essential for the first record... The Iveys have
got one. A good promotion campaign is also essential... The Iveys are enjoying one.
We're going to hear a lot more of The Iveys. They're good - very good!
