Editorial Reviews

2016 collection. Except for their California brethren The Association, no other band of the '60s better represents the soft pop genre than Harpers Bizarre. Their seamless combination of baroque arrangements and gossamer vocals had few equals then or now, and nowhere is their achievement better illustrated than on the run of singles they recorded for Warner Bros. Records in the late 1960s The four Lenny Waronker-produced albums they made in those years add dimension to the group's story and emphasize their range, but the essence of Harpers Bizarre can be found on the 45s, which are all collected here for the first time. What you'll hear here is the remarkable refashioning of a four-piece guitar band enamored with the sounds of the British Invasion into a silky-smooth vocal group supported by the cream of Los Angeles' studio musician crop. The end result is a sound filled with so much sunshine that you might need to wear sunblock while you listen. This 26-track deluxe edition includes many original mono single mixes, many of which have been out of circulation since their original release. Also included are all the pre-Harpers Bizarre singles, when the band recorded as The Tikis. The deluxe, full-color booklet also includes rare photos and extensive and insightful liner notes by Joe McGasko, the host of WFMU's "Surface Noise." Mastered by Alan Brownstein from the original master tapes!

Sunshine straight from Santa Cruz.

Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2021

Verified Purchase

I've always like this group, because while they were definitely part of the west coast sunshine pop genre, they really did have their own sound. I had seen a review that complained that all songs are in mono. Well, in 50's / 60's terminology , singles were 45's, and 45's were all pressed in mono, The mono singles are what was played on AM radio and were loaded into juke boxes. Did I mention the a lot of times the single mixes were totally different than the (stereo and mono) LP mixes? I like this collection of songs a lot, but it doesn't replace the albums (for me). You do get some nice bonuses like a couple of singles from the point when the group was on the Autumn label and were calling themselves The Tikis. You also get the hard to find Orphan Annie / Ernest Hemmingway single version of "I Love You, Alice B. Toklas." "The Harpers Bizarre 4" album's version of the song is the same version that played in the movie. This single version has an extra verse that was left out of the album version. The sound quality of the CD itself is great and would definitely recommend it (assuming you're a fan of the group). I always wondered why Curt Boettcher didn't somehow sink his claws into this group and not let got. Maybe Lenny Waronker was just not going to let that happen.

At last their singles collection

Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2016

Verified Purchase

The first LP I bought from Harpers Bizarre was "Feelin' groovy" and this was during my service in the Dutch army in the sixties. I was stationed in Germany and there we could buy a lot of product tax free. Among these products was the mentioned album. I liked it right away and since that moment I was looking dorward to new singles by the group. So now I was really happy that at last, now this almost complete collection was available, Only their last records are missing here, but they will surely come one day. This collection is a perfect addition to my existing one and I love almost most of the songs here.

Hits and Misses

Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

Not a bad collection, although I'm not nearly as blown away as I hoped to be. Granted, there are some great songs on here, but be forewarned that there is also a fair amount of schlock. If given the option, I'd probably give this one 3.5 stars, but I'm bumping up the rating just because this really is a well-done reissue with a generous amount of music and well-researched liner notes.

Most listeners from back in the day are familiar with Harpers Bizarre's hit version fo "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)", but if you're like me, that's about all you ever heard by this band. The strength of Harpers Bizarre was their flawless vocal harmonies, most songs straddling soft-rock or folk-rock sounds, but some arrangements drifting into MOR or even easy listening territory. This CD begins with 5 tracks by an early version of the band when they were know as The Tikis. Very good stuff.

The rest of the material is all Harpers Bizarre and it runs the gamut from great tracks like "Come to the Sunshine" (written by Van Dyke Parks) and "Hey, You in the Crowd" to rather tepid covers of songs such as "Chattanooga Choo Choo", "Battle of New Orleans" and even "Both Sides Now" (their version sounding more the Robert Goulet one than the Joni Mitchell original). Another original, "Malibu U," which was the theme from a 1967 TV show, is also worthy of the dumpster.

Overall, I thought that this was a fairly interesting collection, but I'm not enamored enough to give it a rave rating. The CD comes with a 24-page booklet with capsule summaries of each track, plus many photos of the band members and collaborators such as Randy Newman and Harry Nilsson.

More Sonic Treasure From the Now Sounds Label

Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2016

Verified Purchase

A treasure chest of sugar for your ears, this collection of singles from one of the key Sunshine Pop bands of the Sixties is wonderful stuff, another superbly culled and produced collection from the Now Sounds label. It's gotten to the point where, if Now Sounds puts it out, even if I've never heard of the band or artist, I buy it because I trust this label THAT much.

From "The Summer Of Love 1967". Pleasant sounding for the most part. Don't like all of the tracks, but can't go wrong for the price to add to my music collection.

A bit of a disappointment. I actually found the mono Feelin' Groovy a more consistent listen. The novelty songs here didn't age well for me.

My children "accidentaly" broke my last CD. I think this band is great. Very upbeat. My wife, who had never heard of the group says they are just plain fun to listen to.

オリジナルアルバムのボーナストラックでもほぼカバーされていますが、前身であるティキズを含めた彼らのシングルを体系的に
聞くことのできるという点で非常にありがたい音源集です。

なお"Bye, Bye, Bye"の曲目クレジットについてひとつ。
ブックレットにはオータム・レコード時代のバージョン（Autumn28)が、ワーナー・ブラザーズに移って出した最初のプロモ・シングル
（WB5818)にも収録されたように記載されていますが、何かの間違いと思われます。
ＡＢ面を入れ替えて出されたもう1枚のプロモ・シングル（WB5828)と同じワーナー・ブラザーズ・バージョンが収録されたのでは。
曲目解説本文の記述も、その前提で読んだ方が筋が通ります。

Worthwhile Stuff

Reviewed in Canada on May 5, 2017

Verified Purchase

Having heard only a couple of single of this group and I have to admit I was not really a fan of the group when it was around I was surprised how smooth this all went down. For the first few songs they appeared to be just another American group trying to copy the British Invasion groups but somehow they developed their own style eventually. As long as you don't expect to be blown away, this stuff is just fine.
