The Mamas & the Papas - Greatest Hits
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

The Mamas & the Papas - Greatest Hits Reviews
Great recording. Good sound, good service. Had all the songs on it I was looking for.
This album had all of the songs I was looking for and some that I never heard of before. Well worth the price anyway.
Throughout, I was e-mailed on the progress of the transaction and delivery. Can't beat it. Steve H. It took Amazon just one second to find the CD I wanted, prompted me for a list of the best prices, one click to order and it came when promised just a few days later.
But alas I downloaded this Album as a MP3 and the playback is horrible all you hear is the lead vocal the harmonies are absent. I too wanted to hear the Sweet Harmony of The Momas and The Papas. Everyone of them a winner. The music plays faintly in the back ground and the lead vocal might as well be singing accaplla and all alone. All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray.:( 5 star album, 1 star download
The collection of songs aweome. I have downloaded music before on Amazon and this the first time I had a problem. Twist and Shout and Dancing in the street odd to my ears but but hey the rest of the Album brings back many memories. I looked forward to adding this to my Mp3 player. I don't know what went wrong but Amazon is refunding my 5 bucks.
I will order the Album (CD) direct this time. And this one is a bummer.
wouldn't want to miss adding it to your collection. if you like the sounds of this era and want the hear some classic folk music, this is great.
