THE LOVIN' SPOONFUL/DAYDREAM NPL 28078 (-66) UK MONO

A band frequently on the charts in US and Europe during the sixties, today sadly neglected by newer generations of music lovers and record buyers. To be honest I never thought their original albums were 100%. A couple of excellent songs on each, but always with a few cuts I find uninteresting and more or less fillers. On the other hand the highlights from their production are so good they remain classics even to this day. Combining all qualities of true hits - catchy memorable melodies, attractice vocals and direct production often with some hook or twist. This has so many of those - "Daydream", "Jug Band Music", "Didn't Want To Have To Do It", "Bald Headed Lena" and "You Didn't Have To Be So Nice" it's almost like an early Greatest Hits. But more was to come and my favorite Loving Spoonful LP will always be the 1967 "The Best Of The Loving Spoonful". Apart from YDHTBSN coming through rather weak the audio on this is sterling - strong and clear. Premiere US on Kama Sutra (KLP/KLPS 8051). First UK issue came on Pye International with label as shown here and laminated flip/back cover. (PÖY*)
