Performer Notes

This is a best-of compilation of tracks recorded by the California pop group The Mamas & The Papas.
This 20-song collection from MCA's British division isn't bad for the price, despite its having been supplanted by better sounding masters in the decade since its release. The annotation is almost negligible, and the producers have extended the history covered right up through numbers like "People Like Us" -- very late in the group's history (actually past its end) and filled out the quartet's songs with Cass Elliot solo tracks, but the company did ask a lot more for a lot less, and the songs certainly sound better than they did in earlier compilations, even if they're now outdone for clarity by the early 2000 remasterings. ~ Bruce Eder
