Summary: The Mamas & the Papas - Greatest Hits
Comment: As greatest hits albums go this is a good compilation of the music of the Mamas & the Papas. There were a couple of songs that could have been left off, ones that to my knowledge were never a greatest hit, in fact never reached the top 40. For example, Dancing Bear, Glad to be Unhappy, Safe in My Garden. All in all a great addition to my collection.

Summary: covers all the big hits
Comment: This CD came BEFORE the promised date and without any scratches or skips. The plastic jewel case was cracked, probably from shipping, but this did not matter to me. If this is of importance to you, ask to have it box-wrapped rather than bubble-wrapped. Still an excellent value.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Groovy music and harmonious voices blending so beautifullly together.
Comment: Very pleasant to the ear, the historical tracks on this CD are a delight even for those of us not brought up on them. Mama Cass's powerful voice blending in with all the other members beautiful harmony is just so unique.

Editorial Reviews:
|
The Mamas and the Papas had a sound that helped define a portion of the 1960s. Their breezy folk classics had a bit of San Francisco psychedelia woven in, and, despite the sweet harmonies, there was also a noticeably dark feel to some of their more popular work. "California Dreamin'" and "Monday, Monday" both utilized enough minors to give them a spooky edge. Greatest Hits is an essential part of any audiophile's collection, especially if they don't have the original recordings that spawned the hits. "Dedicated to the One I Love" is almost ironic for its tenderness, considering the turmoil that rumbled through the band's interrelationships. While John and Michelle Phillips and Denny Doherty were all responsible for the success of the Mamas and the Papas, listening to this collection reveals that the late great Mama Cass was not only the heart but the soul of the band. Greatest Hits closes with her "Dream a Little Dream of Me," and serves as a touching tribute to Cass Elliot's talent. --Steve Gdula
