It’s from 1972 but it totally sounds like a 1967-68 job, starring this girl: http:ann_marshall0.tripod.com as well as Tony Scotti from Valley Of The Dolls, a couple of guys from the Love Generation, Eddie Medora from the Sunrays, ubiquitous 1960s and 1970s producer Tommy Oliver, and last but not least Michael Lloyd of West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, Smoke, October Country, Friends, Osmonds producer, etc. fame!
"This album is just a little sunshine pop LP, not a masterpiece or
anything, but when I thought I’d had about enough of average sunshine pop
(and there’s a lot of it around even if it’s still enjoyable), it grew on me and I
began to appreciate its various subtleties."
• The material is actually first rate, with two Buffalo Springfield covers (? harmony pop style? in 1972?), Bluebird and an excellent version of On The Way Home, the Beatles’ I Will, Dick Holler’s great Reaching Out For Someone, the classic Five Hundred Miles, and other credits by Roger Nichols & Paul Williams, Mike Curb and Cashman & West, so very much the kind of soft pop record that’s all the rage on the Spectropop list, for its quality as much as for the players
involved.
• Not a classic by any means, but a very well-done record that I was just surprised to enjoy that much. Note: a repressing of the album entitled Breaking Up Is Hard To Do exists which sports a different cover, adds Breaking Up Is Hard To Do and subtracts the cover of the Beatles’ I Will.
