Soundtrack to a Francis Ford Coppola movie I haven't seen and probably won't in the foreseeable future. But since all the music is written by John Sebastian and part of it performed by Lovin' Spoonful it can be heard as a regular band album, also suggested by the title. As such it may not be their best, excused and explained by the music had to follow the film plot which meant controlled creativity rather than free artistry. As I haven't seen the movie the orchestral instrumentals don't mean that much to me, though there are a few cuts making it worth while. "Darling Be Home Soon" so soft and melodic it's always been one of my favorites from the band and the title song, "Girl, Beautiful Girl" and "Wash Her Away" are all perky and happy enough for smiles. Audio shifts a little between tracks, but all good or at least ok. So not the all Lovin' Spoonful project that the sleeve may suggest, but you do get a fair amount of group effort and I guess that and the sleeve pics are enough for any true band fan. Premiere US on Kama Sutra (KLP/KLPS 8058 ST). Also originally released in Canada, Downunder, South Africa and a couple of European countries. Japan 2008 mini-LP CD on Buddha Records (BVCM 35455). First UK had ridged label as shown here on thick heavy vinyl in a laminated flip/back cover. (ZÖNT*)
