    Could be one of the best sunshine pop LP's of all time. A stunning album - full of ambitious melodic vocal harmony ideas, wonderful songs & sparkling production by Bones Howe. The Wrecking Crew provide the musical backdrop. Sublime.

      Maybe it's just me, but I really think that the album cover looks almost Pythonesque.

        The Association's Greatest album! Look at the cover people...looks like the psychedelic Levi commercial. No singles here but their best album by far....essential. N

          Not as good as 'odessey & oracle' or as 'forever changes' but a pleasant record.

            not a psych record at all but quite good nonetheless.
