The Mamas & the Papas - Greatest Hits (1998)
Gernre: Folk/Classic Rock | MP3 | 192 | 85Mb | RS



No single group flashed faster to the top nor created more hype than the fabled the Mamas and the Papas. From their initial burst onto the scene with "California Dreaming" to their final efforts with "For The Love Of Ivy", they created a new, exciting, and melodramatic form of vocal harmonies into the folk-rock mainstream. This, one of several terrific compilations of their greatest hits, features most of their classic hits, from "Monday Monday" to "I Call Your Name", from "Go Where You Wanna Go" to "California Dreaming", and from "Twelve Thirty" to "Creeque Alley". My own personal favorites are "I Saw Her Again" and "Words OF Love".

The cover shot of the four of them on-stage was taken in a rare moment of group unity; as at various times they actually kicked Michelle out of the band and replaced with another female lead singer in the midst of one the group's pitched fur-fights. Later she was allowed to rejoin the group, and the rest, as they say, is history. Everything about the Mamas and the Papas seemed unconventional, yet much of what they did was better planned and more contrive than it appeared. This isn't to say that their earthy presence and flair for the controversial wasn't real. It certainly was.

Indeed, within the space of a couple of years they had conquered the pop heavens, had an incredible string on non-stop hits, and promptly dissolved among the internal frictions so common to mid-sixties super-groups like the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, and a number of others. Yet the incredible sound they created remains, and I defy anyone to listen to this album without snapping a finger or tapping a foot in time with incredible sounds emanating from the stereo. This album is a must-have for collectors of sixties folk-rock music. Enjoy!
