THE CLIQUE WWS 7126 (-69) US
Texas sunshine pop band active in the late sixties and mostly relying on cover versions. After releasing one 45 each for Cinema and Scepter records they got a contract with White Wale, for which they released six more singles before breaking up early seventies. As many of the WW 45 A:s and B:s can be found on this their one-off LP it's most of all a compilation. Decades ago this issue was common in the cheapest bins here and I never looked twice, but it was a while since I saw a copy now and when this showed up I decided to give it a chance. And in all it offers a pretty enjoyable mix of sunshine and bubblegum pop, sometimes gravitating towards psych and sometimes towards soul. Well performed and arranged, most with some kind of orchestral backing involved, and the audio is smashing. Good listening both close and as background. And a couple of the songs are certainly worth to be played more than once - like the two psychish "Sugar On Sunday" and "Superman" and the hard hitting "Little Miss Lucy". Glad I finally decided to give it a try cause it's a keeper for sure. Issued on vinyl in US, Canada and Australia. Also as US 8-track. UK 2006 CD "Sugar On Sunday: The Definitive Collection" on REV-OLA (CR REV 162) came with the full album plus ten bonus tracks. First US had label as shown here in a laminated cover. (YZÄ*)
