This is the single-CD successor to Creeque Alley, the double-disc career retrospective issued in the early '90s. All of the hits from "California Dreamin'" to "Dream a Little Dream of Me" are here, along with their more celebrated album tracks, and the notes by Joseph Laredo provide a decent overview of the group's formation and history.

The Mamas & the Papas
In the spring of 1966, If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears represented a genuinely new sound, as fresh to listeners as the songs on Meet the Beatles had seemed two years earlier. Released just as "California Dreaming" was ascending the charts by leaps and bounds, it was the product of months of rehearsal in the Virgin Islands and John Phillips' ...

The Mamas & the Papas
They weren't the most important folk-rock group of the mid-'60s; the Byrds and others produced more enduring music. Yet the Mamas & the Papas were undoubtedly the most commercially successful folk-rock group of their time, racking up an astonishing nine Top 30 hits in little more than a year and a half. This 43-song double CD is by far the most ...

The 60's Ultimate Collection, Vol. 1: The History of Rock

Various Artists
One could certainly take exception to the title of this CD. Where are the Beatles? Where are the girl groups? Where is Motown? Where is soul? So maybe it isn't the ultimate collection, but it is pretty nice. Most of the focus is on lightweight hits like Tommy Roe's "Sheila" and Len Barry's "1,2,3." The Mamas & the Papas have two tracks, "Monday ...

The Mamas & the Papas
By the time the Mamas & the Papas recorded and released their third album, the group was continuing, in the words of singer Denny Doherty, "on its own momentum." Acrimonious personnel changes, rock stardom, fame, money, and drugs (among other factors) were taking their toll on the group's chemistry. Fortunately, this momentum is precisely the ...

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 ...

Casey Kasem's America's Top 10 series often has a step or two on its competing retrospectives, and this 1960s volume is no different. It digs no deeper than the play list of your local oldies station, but packs in the hits and varies the styles with little filler. There are fuzzy rock classics from the Troggs, the Yardbirds, and Shadows of Knight, ...

Conceived as a counterpart to Golden Age of American Rock'n'Roll, Ace's excellent anthology series covering the first decade of U.S. rock, Chartbusters USA does the same thing for American rock spanning 1964-69. It's perhaps less valuable than the Golden Age series because the material anthologized, at least to judge by the first installment, is ...
