THE ASSOCIATION/GREATEST HITS WS 1767 (-68) UK


 To my taste a very good collection of songs from this classic US band. There could have been even more goodies on here, but I do get three from their 1966 debute "And Then ...Along Comes The Association", one from the follow-up "Renaissance", four from the 1967 "Insight Out" and four from the 1968 "Birthday" (for more on those albums check here    https://monolover.blogspot.com/search?q=%28%C3%84K%C3%96*%29  ). All topped with the then previously 45 only "Six Man Band", here re-mixed to true stereo. I'm getting a lot of what I like most about them - cozy dreamy sunshine psych. Maybe more dreamy than pure psych, but certainly special enough to put my mind in a good mood. For those new to the combo I guess this could serve as a very good introduction. Got many favorite tracks, but to choose a few - "Windy", "The Time Is Today", "Time For Livin" and "Six Man Band". I also like the audio on this press, coming out very good to the ears. Issued and reissued on every possible format all over the world through the years. Premiere US on Warner Bros. (WS 1767). First UK (also as mono W 1767) had label as shown here in a laminated flip/back cover with lyrics on rear.  (ÄKÖ*)
