Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The Mamas and the Papas blazed across the '60s folk-rock scene, scoring nine Top 40 hits in less than two years. So bright was their brief run that it earned them a berth in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. This set shows at least some of the reason why--there's the era-defining hit "California Dreamin'," plus other triumphs such as "Monday, Monday," "Words of Love," "Dedicated to the One I Love," and the autobiographical "Creeque Alley." --Daniel Durchholz

4.0 out of 5 stars essential cd for anyones collection, 21 Mar 2001
By A Customer
The best of the Mamas and the Papa compilation album is one compliation album that truely lives up to its title. Not only is it a great mix of their best songs, but it is interesting to see how much these harmonies have influenced and shaped modern music as we know it. The four singers create some fantastic sing along harmonies in songs such as Monday Monday, and California dreaming, Also Mama Cass shows great depth of talent when she sings Dream a little dream. There is a song for every mood on this album. All well sung and produced in a natural way, which even includes false starts and noticeable errors every now and again. It makes for fantastic listening and I thoroughly recommend it

5.0 out of 5 stars California Dreamin' for a day in the new millenium, 18 Mar 2004
By Joanna Daneman (Middletown, DE USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Oh, this one will take you back to those sunny summer days, sitting outside on the grass on campus, wearing a long granny dress and wire-rimmed spectacles (hey, those are back in style!) and sipping some wine while listening to the Mamas and the Papas on the transistor. Funny, though, this music is still appealing though nothing like it is being played today.

The smooth harmonizing of the group, highlighted by the clear, flexible and gorgeous voice of the late Mama Cass is surprisingly cheerful even today. The laid-back tone is great for weekend play, whilst cleaning the house or writing checks to pay bills. It makes me nostalgic--I guess I still love the same music I played in the 60's. Sigh.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, 4 Dec 2003
By Ryan J. Price "uselessdesires" (Leicester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Its just one of those albums you just love to love. An impressive collection of all those hits we all know, and enjoy singing along to! The album highlights the strengths of this group collectively, but also singles out Cass Elliot's fantastic voice. As i am able to listen from beginning to end without skipping, i advise anyone to pick up a copy. You don't know what you're missing!
