Greatest Hits

Greatest Hits (1998) more music like this

by The Mamas & the Papas

Not to be confused with earlier hits compilations, the catalog number on this 20-song collection is MCAD-11740. This is the single-CD successor to Creeque Alley, the double-disc career retrospective issued in the early '90s. All of the hits from "California Dreamin'" to "Dream a Little Dream of Me" are here, along with their more celebrated album ...

If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears

If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears (1966) more music like this

by The Mamas & the Papas

In the spring of 1966, If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears represented a genuinely new sound, as fresh to listeners as the songs on Meet the Beatles had seemed two years earlier. Released just as "California Dreaming" was ascending the charts by leaps and bounds, it was the product of months of rehearsal in the Virgin Islands and John Phillips' ...

Past Masters, Vol. 1

Past Masters, Vol. 1 (1988) more music like this

by The Beatles

When Capitol decided to release the original British editions of the Beatles' albums instead of the bastardized American versions, they were left with a bit of a quandary. Since the Beatles had an enormous number of non-LP singles, some of their greatest hits -- from "I Want to Hold Your Hand" through "Hey Jude" -- would not be included on disc if ...

The Capitol Albums, Vol. 1

The Capitol Albums, Vol. 1 (2004) more music like this

by The Beatles

When the Beatles' albums were reissued on CD in 1987, the group seized the opportunity to standardize their catalog internationally, choosing to release the British version of their LPs on CD in every territory throughout the world. From their standpoint, it made sense creatively, since these were the albums they intended to make, and it also made ...

Gold [Geffen]

Gold [Geffen] (2005) more music like this

by The Mamas & The Papas

The Mamas & the Papas Gold is a two-disc, 32-track set that does an admirable job of mixing the major hits with well chosen album tracks. Unlike MCA's 1991 similar package Creeque Alley, solo tracks are ignored with the focus being only on the five studio albums recorded as a group: If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears, The Mamas & the Papas, ...

Creeque Alley

Creeque Alley (1991) more music like this

by The Mamas & the Papas

They weren't the most important folk-rock group of the mid-'60s; the Byrds and others produced more enduring music. Yet the Mamas & the Papas were undoubtedly the most commercially successful folk-rock group of their time, racking up an astonishing nine Top 30 hits in little more than a year and a half. This 43-song double CD is by far the most ...

A Man and a Half: The Best of Wilson Pickett

A Man and a Half: The Best of Wilson Pickett (1992) more music like this

by Wilson Pickett

A Man and a Half: The Best of Wilson Pickett is a double-disc set that collects the absolute cream of Pickett's early sides with The Falcons and all the highlights of his successful alliance with the Atlantic label. With "Mustang Sally," "In the Midnight Hour," "Ninety Nine & a Half," "Hey Jude," "Land of 1000 Dances," "You're So Fine," and "634 ...

Farewell to the First Golden Era (1967) more music like this

by The Mamas & the Papas

At the time of its release in October 1967, Farewell to the First Golden Era was great for what it was, but ominous for what it foreshadowed, with both of those characteristics apparent in the album title. It was, as the term "Golden Era" indicated, a greatest-hits album, its 12 tracks including all nine of the Mamas & the Papas' chart singles up ...

What's in a name? If you love mid-'60s folk-rockers the Mamas & the Papas, this four-volume U.K. Complete Anthology (2004) speaks for itself. The 101 selections run in excess of five hours centering on the vintage long-players If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears (1966), The Mamas & the Papas (1966), The Mamas & the Papas Deliver (1967), The ...

Kind of a Drag

Kind of a Drag (1967) more music like this

by The Buckinghams

Given its source, Kind of a Drag was one of the most extraordinary albums of the 1960s. One expected great, diverse LPs out of the likes of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, among others; by contrast, even the better albums by top garage-punk outfits such as the 13th Floor Elevators generally had a one-note feel to them, or were conspicuously ...

Mercy, Mercy, Mercy: A Collection

Mercy, Mercy, Mercy: A Collection (1991) more music like this

by The Buckinghams

Although they never had a hit album, the Buckinghams sold more records in 1967 than any American group other than the Monkees. This collection includes every Buckinghams song you'd want to hear, and more. The disc opens with "Kind of a Drag," the number one single in the U.S. in February 1967. The band's other pop hits are here as well: "Don't You ...

16 Greatest Hits (1970) more music like this

by The Mamas & the Papas

A great overview of the music from this group, one of the founders of the California sound in the late '60s. This is a good collection of their unforgettable electric folk-pop songs, including "Monday, Monday" and "California Dreamin'." (Originally released in August 1969 by Dunhill Records, 16 of Their Greatest Hits, it was reissued on CD by MCA ...

A sumptuous, four-CD box set with all the deluxe trimmings celebrating the grandaddy of all outdoor rock concerts. With legendary performances by Otis Redding, the Who, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, the Byrds, and Paul Butterfield all taken from the mobile-unit multi-track masters (not to mention an album-sized booklet that'll knock your eyes out), ...

All the Leaves Are Brown: The Golden Era Collection (2001) more music like this

by The Mamas & the Papas

This is where fans of the group can sort of stop and settle down at last. MCA Records had previously let the Mamas & the Papas' music out on CD in a trickle; the debut LP was upgraded and a compilation of remastered hits showed later in the decade, but the rest was left to languish. This two-CD set makes up for that neglect, assembling all four of ...

Collection (2003) more music like this

by The Boys

The Boys are rarely discussed in the same breath as the great bands of the first wave of British punk, and that's a puzzle; the Boys may have lacked the "smash the state" politics of the Clash or the Sex Pistols, but their blend of pop hooks and buzzsaw energy was bested only by the Buzzcocks, and their music is at least as fun and furious as the ...

Six of the eight tunes appear on the box set Rhino released of the mega concert, excluding "Somebody Groovy" and "Spanish Harlem." John Phillips' ...

The Beatles' Second Album (1964) more music like this

by The Beatles

The Beatles' Second Album was the first album of the group's work to be assembled by Capitol Records exclusively for the American market (as opposed to, say, Meet the Beatles!, which was a reconfigured and shortened version of With the Beatles). As such, it offends some historical purists, who don't think of it as a real album. Regardless of its ...

The Beatles Box Set [1992] (1992) more music like this

by The Beatles

At one level, one would have to be a collector, an Anglophile, or a 1960s pop culture enthusiast to consider this 14-CD set a good deal. In the U.K., the EP ("extended play" single), which contains more tracks than an ordinary single and fewer than an album, has always been a far more popular format than it is in the U.S. During their heyday, the ...

A collection like this one can't help but underscore what an amazing group the Mamas & the Papas were in their prime, and songs like "Monday, Monday," the immortal "California Dreamin'," "Go Where You Wanna Go," the autobiographical "Creeque Alley," and the gorgeous, haunting "Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming to the Canyon)" were simply great ...

Catdaddy Jones, a busman's holiday for four veteran New York sidemen, Geoff Worton, M.D. Meyer, Steve Merola, and Paul Bisbano, is a straight-ahead blues-rock band in a familiar style. The promotional sheet for their debut album, Late Night in the Doghouse, says, "Think the Asbury Jukes with a grittier singer and Jeff Beck on guitar!," and among ...
