Acid in the bubblegum
Forty years after, the wit and the melody are still sharp. Half the DJs and kids listening to this stuff on the radio in the 1960s had no idea what was going on. Utterly straight faced subversion. It is magic.

Thanks E-Music and The Turtles for a great deal and a fantastic album. I very seldom can say I like all the songs on an album but this may be a first.
How cool is it that Flo and Eddie are buying back their catalog and dropping it here for us? (And by all means, do check out the chock full o' nuts F&E selection here.) Since most people won't have heard more than a handful of these, it's a wall to wall revelation. Not just the sweet pop you know, but some great jangle, garage, with a wit and sophistication that reminds you that these guys also worked with Frank Zappa. What a gem! Download Album, my friend. You'll feel better about yourself, and everyone around you will smile more because you're near them.
Going through these songs you forget how great some of them were!
