I never hear of Mark Andre, but Amazon recommended this album and, boy, I didn't regret this. A collection of brilliant heavenly songs and melodies. The extra's were not necessary. it's ashame that this man made only one album.
Format:Audio CD
anybody remotely interested in californian pop music between 65-70 would go far wrong if they did'nt buy this now. an amazing album,self written for the most part,and one i really was'nt sure of purchasing,but am so glad i did. well pleased to give this 5stars as it is well worth it. always good to have extra tracks!

Sunshine Pop Masterpiece

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'll admit I downloaded this to see if I liked it after all the reviews I read - then I ordered it from Amazon about 3 days later. It's an engagingly catchy Beach album with perfect arrangements, worthy of Brian WIlson and certainly better than any full-length studio album they released after 1968, including Sunflower and Holland. Song's like Lynn's Baby & Girls of Summer really stick with you, reminding me of the best Lassie Foundation or Curt Boettcher - it's really right up there!
Sound Quality - 5/5 (Steve Stanley, producer of Now Sounds and Rev-Ola titles never disappoints)
Booklet - 5/5
Bonus Material - 4/5 (three of the previously unavailable songs are as good or better than the initial release)
Music - Roger Nichols Small Circle meets the Millenium meets Pet Sounds.
If you care for any of that unfashionable music , by all means, support the artist and production team who put their hearts into this. Nobody has the stones to create and/or financially back this kind of stuff these days.

Brian Wilson or someone close to him must have known something about DNA that no one else did in the late 1960's, because he evidently had a clone.
Clone is not a pejorative when talking about Midsummer's Day Dream, this Marc Eric album. Simply put, if you like Wilson at his pre-Pet Sounds, apex Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!), you'll have equal love for Eric's album.
Surprisingly, these recordings were made in 1968-69, in the middle of America's counterculture insurrection. With riots in the cites, Vietnam napalm on nightly TV, the U.S. in civil turmoil, you'd think the last music any artist would record would be that which threw back to the Beach Party days of 1964-65, which seemed like a time warp away. Even Jimi Hendrix said "you'll never hear surf music again" from the 1967 Monterrey Pop stage
But Eric recorded in the aesthetic anyhow, and the miraculous aspect of this album is that it is NOT!!!!!, emphatically NOT!!!!! a nostalgia revue or AM radio hideout cheese. Eric mines the best, most artful facets of the Wilson sound: fantastic harmonies, ambitious arrangements, instrumental touches like vibraphones--all the aspects of Wilson's sound that make it recognizable as the high art we now know it to be. Eric works the Beach Boy treasure chest as a cache of musical maxims, not as image or parody.
If imitation is flattery, this is some of the most sincere, and best-sounding, flattery you can find.
GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Essential purchase for that fresh Westcoast pop sound.

I certainly agree with the other review here, killer material, bonus tracks are a must hear. Booklet with this package is great, the only thing I should mention is that the mastering of the album tracks tends to be almost too sharp on the lead vocals on some of the tracks. I've seen online where some people say this is a remix, and that they prefer the LP mixes...I have no idea on that, but perhaps worth the hunt. Overall, if you like Beach Boys, Roger Nichols, Love Generation, Fifth Dimension, etc. (breezy "bah-bah" pop) this LP more than stands the test of time and sounds as if it were recorded yesterday. Intricate chord structures, top production...a real treat for the ears!
