Sixties Pop: The Grass Roots - Anthology 1965-1975 (1991Rhino) (2 disc)



It may be expensive, and two CDs of their work may seem like overkill, but this double-disc set is the one to get. Not only does it contain every hit and each single, and every B-side, from 1965's "Where Were You When I Needed You" through 1975's glorious "Mamacita," but the sound is extraordinary, far better than on any of the other hits compilations, and provides several revelations about the quality of their work. Highlights, in addition to the expected hits ("Let's Live for Today," "Midnight Confessions," "Two Divided by Love" etc.) include tracks like "Is It Any Wonder," with a chorus as radiant as anything the Mamas and the Papas ever recorded, and the seldom heard, vibrant "Mamacita." If you could never imagine listening to 120 minutes of Grass Roots material (this reviewer couldn't, either), this set will make you feel differently. (allmusic.com)





Great pop sounds from ten years career of the Grass Roots.
Have fun

  1. Many people, myself included for the longest time. wrote off their post-PF Sloan material as not being worthwhile. How wrong I was! While I still like their earlier material better, they had so many great records throughout their career. Thank you for posting this.

  3. Hello Frank.

    I've just listened to the Evolution album the Early Hours which you posted under the link

    https://popintotheblue.blogspot.co.uk/2017/11/garage-rockpower-pop-from-australia.html

    It's an excellent album of perfect pop, reminding me of the Who and also an Irish band called the Strypes.

    Many thanks for this.
