Originally released on White Whale (7114). Includes liner notes by Harold Bronson. This is simply one of the most classic sixties albums ever evoking the trippy spirit of the times splendidly! I grew up with this album and it's Rhino vinyl reissue in the 80's. Every song on this long player is memorable and hearing them again -- minus the scratches from my worn-out vinyl copy -- is like hearing from a long-lost friend.
Fun tunes like "Makin' My Mind Up" and the novelty "The Walking Song" plus movie theme "Guide For the Married Man" are great songs which round out the entire album. The classic "I Think I'll Run Away" is my favorite. "Me About You" will stick in your mind for days and leave you with a smile. The classic Turtles songs "Happy Together" and "She'd Rather Be With Me" are the end pieces which make this THE Turtles album to have in any collection!
This album must be heard in its entirety by any new or old-timer Turtles fan. One other note: Bill Inglot, who mastered many of Rhino's better releases worked on this re-release. For that one reason alone, you can be assured that the sonics of this CD will be impeccable!
