| | Customer Reviews: Faded dreams... (11 September 2008)Listening to the Mammas and the Papas was a real nostalgia trip but how I hate CD's with tracks that fade out before they finish, it totally spoils the experience. I have a vision of a man behind the stage at a live performance turning a big volume control down leaving the group playing and singing silently to a bemused audience. Had the tracks all been full length I would have given this CD 4 stars. RECAPTURE THE 60`s (29 June 2007)BEING A CHILD OF THE 60`s .THE SUMMER OF LOVE ,HIPPIES WITH FLOWERS IN THERE HAIR,AND THE FIRST MAN ON THE MOON.PART OF THE SOUNDTRACK OF THOSE DAYS WAS `THE MAMAS AND THE PAPAS`.THIS C.D WITH IT`S 20 TRACKS TAKES YOU BACK TO THOSE GLORIOUS DAYS. ALL THERE WELL KNOWN SONGS ARE HERE.TOGETHER WITH INTERESTING INNER SLEEVE NOTES.IF YOU HAVE`NT GOT AN ALBUM OF THE MAMAS AND THE PAPAS IN YOUR COLLECTION I RECOMMEND YOU GET THIS.PUT THIS C.D ON AND CLOSE YOUR EYE`S , YOUR ALMOST BACK TO THOSE DAYS.IT`S ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU RUSH OUT TO BUY TIE DIED TEA SHIRTS,BEADS AND FLARED TROUSERS, BUT FIRST GET THIS REALLY COOL C.D. All the essentials including Mama Cass solos (31 October 2004)The Mamas and Papas were formed after the break-up of a little-known short-lived group called the Mugwumps. Other members of that group formed the Lovin' spoonful. This compilation contains all the essential hits of the Mamas and Papas while they were together. The classic Mamas and Papas songs are all here including California Dreaming, Go where you wanna go, Monday Monday, I saw her again, Words of love and Creeque alley. These are classic slices of sixties folk-rock, some of which at least you must be already familiar with. Also in this collection are their great covers including Dedicated to the one I love (Shirelles) Do you wanna dance, which was originally an American hit for Bobby Freeman but later became a British hit for Cliff Richard and an American hit for the Beach Boys. Dream a little dream of me was over forty years old when the Mamas and Papas recorded it - this song was actually the first Mama Cass solo recording though the group was still united at this stage. Some of these covers were also hits for the Mamas and Papas. You can also hear Mama Cass singing It's getting better, Make your own kind of music and other songs recorded after the break-up. If you just want a single CD of Mamas and Papas music, this is a good one to choose. If you are thinking that a single CD may not be enough, I recommend the double CD, Singles plus. Cass's voice soars. I close my eyes and float among the clouds when she sings. Mama Cass's voice is legendary. These songs are classics. |
