Description:

All tracks have been digitally remastered.
The best-sounding--the early Mamas And The Papas CDs were notoriously dreadful, sonically--and most comprehensive of the many Mamas and the Papas compilations. GREATEST HITS proves why this band should be better known for their exquisite harmonies and mastery of pop hooks instead of the lurid tales of drug addiction and intra-band romances which came out much later.
The only compilation which contains all of their top 40 hits, from the classic debut "California Dreamin`" to the glorious light psychedelia of "Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming to the Canyon)," plus a generous handful of album tracks, GREATEST HITS is a perfect introduction to the retroactively-named genre of sunshine pop, that folk-rock-based, acid-kissed gentle pop music of `66-`68. This may be all the Mamas And The Papas you`ll need, but if you`re a fan of `60s pop, you do need this.
