Summary: Amazing CD Packed With Hits
Comment: Get this CD for all the timeless tunes & great songs of THE LOVIN' SPOONFUL. Surely, they are one of the greatest groups ever . This CD is just packed with every hit you'd ever want from them. It's a very generous amount of songs, and the liner notes & photos truly add to the best of the best of the Spoonful.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: So few HITS
Comment: More filler songs than actual HITS (about three). I did not realize they had so few biggies if the CD is the factual record of their "Greatest Hits".
The filler songs were never really played in USA and for good reason they are not worthy of Billboard ratings. I have these few HITS on Time-Life CD's, this is a CD I should have passed up. This CD is only for the die-hard Lovin Spoonful fans.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not the Same as Original Hits
Comment: I was really looking forward to having this - but some songs are reworked and not the same songs as heard on the radio. Especially mournful to me is the song "Younger Girl" - it is NOTHING like the hit song on the radio - on this CD it is done by one guy with one guitar. I remember the song with all the guys, harmonies and more instruments. I wish I could send this back in and get my money back - I am that disillusioned.

Summary: What I expected
Comment: CD came in a reasonable amount of time, and in excellent condition.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Look for a bettern collection!
Comment: This collection was ok, but it seemed they were just trying to fill a cd. I would not say that it was a "greatest hits".

Editorial Reviews:

It sometimes feels as though the Lovin' Spoonful have been reduced to a footnote in the history of rock & roll. Yet few of their contemporaries could match the likes of "Daydream," "Summer in the City," and the transcendent "Do You Believe in Magic?"--a song that can still turn January into June. Legend has it that the Spoonful auditioned for The Monkees, and they'd have been good in those roles, having the right candy-sweet sound and a warm humor in constant evidence. But it wouldn't have lasted: lead songwriter John Sebastian was too willful and idiosyncratic, coming on like an American Ray Davies on songs such as "Younger Generation," a prescient meditation on the hippie generation's future parental dilemmas. Greatest Hits is a fine 26-song introduction to a perennially underrated band. --Taylor Parkes
