Product Description

CD Description

The Yellow Balloon's 1967 album is to the Beach Boys what the Monkees were to the Beatles. While Brian Wilson was expanding the boundaries of pop, songwriter/producer Gary Zekley updated Wilson's abandoned sunny California sound with Byrdsy guitars and gentle psychedelia on such numbers as the sprightly "How Can I Be Down". THE YELLOW BALLOON is a pinnacle of '60s California pop, and the album spawned two classic singles, "Yellow Balloon" and "Stained Glass Window", the latter written and sung by drummer "Luke R. Yoo", better known as actor Don Grady, or, at the time as Robbie on MY THREE SONS.
Unlike most '60s pop albums, THE YELLOW BALLOON doesn't have a single clunker among the bunch. The nine bonus tracks, including demos, early Grady singles, and a seven-minuteinterview with Zekley, are equally excellent. Ditto the well-designed booklet, with tons of photos and informative liner notes by California pop historian Dom Priore. This is how reissues should be done.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent sunshine pop, 1 Dec 2003
By A Customer
This is sunny west coast pop which should be of interest to mid-era beach boys fans. Although some of the songs can be a little too twee, the majority have enough emotional resonance to make this worth investigating. The second half of the album is particularly strong, with ‘Can’t get enough of your love’ being a flawless example of 60s vocal pop.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yellow Balloon by Yellow Balloon, 26 Feb 2009
By Ms. Claire E. Francis (england) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
CD arrived within two days and as it came from America and I live in England, think that is mega fantastic. The CD itself is absolutely wonderful....would fully recommend it.
