Product description

The Association were simply one of the finest, most beloved, and most commercially successful American vocal groups of the 1960s. Yet a complete singles collection of their golden Warner Bros. & Valiant years (1966-1971) has never been collected UNTIL NOW! Although the popular six-man band initially developed a straight-laced, M.O.R. image, they were actually much more dynamic than that. They helped pioneer the new musical genre dubbed Folk-Rock by Troubadour owner Doug Weston and fused this sound with a sophisticated vocal blend that was on par with the Beach Boys. And contrary to their hop-sack-suited image, they were all spiritual seekers, with one member, Jules Alexander, leaving the band for a pilgrimage to India nearly a year before the Beatles. The deluxe, double Digipak includes a full-color booklet with previously unpublished photos, and extensive liner notes featuring track-by-track commentary from original band.

This group reminds me of my childhood days.Their song CHERISH is one my favorite songs in the collection. Groups in the 60's have very simple words and melodies.The Association is one of the great ones.The blending of their voices is just amazing.It has that soothing effect . What more could you ask for their hits? They have everything.

１９６０年代は、モノラル・ヴァージョンが基本なので、忠実に再現されているのかなと思いますが、専門家ではないので、実際のシングル・ヴァージョンかどうかは、定かではありません。最近、アナログ盤が復活していたり、こうしたモノラルが増えてきましたが、そろそろ、ネタがなくなってきて、掘り起こしが始まったのかな。良いことだと思います。もちろん、このＣＤも、６０年代好きには欠かせないアイテムだと思います。

This isn't exactly a typical anthology, though, by definition, it has all of the group's hit singles from their Valiant/Warner Bros. glory days. Hardcore fans can undoubtedly name various songs they would like to see on a collection, but the b-sides do include some of their better album tracks. The big hits are all on Disc 1, though Disc 2 is pretty good, too. All but two of the tracks are mono; most of the tracks on Disc 2 are making their mono debut on CD. I happen to be partial to mono mixes of sixties pop, but I can't be the only person who thinks the stereo mixes of their biggest hits, "Cherish", "Never My Love" and, especially, "Windy", are terrible. Hearing them in mono again reminds you of why they topped the charts in the first place, though I wouldn't say that mono is a huge improvement over stereo for the songs recorded after "Six Man Band". Some of the single versions are noticeably different from the album versions ("Looking Glass", "No Fair at All", "Six Man Band", "Never My Love"). Whether they're better or worse is entirely a matter of taste. I'm no audiophile, but the sound quality seemed just fine to me.

The liner notes are good, though there is a lot of overlap with the notes from the reissues of their first four albums. About the only thing missing is that they don't explicitly tell you the lead vocalist of every song; some are obvious to more serious fans, some not so much.

If you're a serious fan with a little money to spare, I would recommend getting the Now Sounds mono reissues of their first four albums. With the bonus tracks on those discs, that will get you every song on Disc 1 of this collection, as well as the first three b-sides on Disc 2. If you're a casual fan and you already have 'Greatest Hits' or, better yet, 'Just the Right Sound', I wouldn't recommend plunking down another $25+ for this set, unless you dislike the stereo mixes as much as I do (you can do some mono vs. stereo comparisons on YouTube). However, if you're contemplating buying your first Association album, this is a great start, especially with the 'Just the Right Sound' CD no longer in print. If cost isn't an object and you're trying to decide between 'Greatest Hits' and this collection, definitely go with this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wealth Of Harmony Riches!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 7, 2012

What an absolute treat this is,two discs filled with great songs sung by one of the very best American vocal groups of the sixties.I first heard the Association in 1966 and have loved them ever since.
At the start of their career folk rock was the in thing and this is reflected in the first two tracks,perfectly okay but they didn't really give an indication of what was to come.It was the ultra cool "Along Comes Mary" with the distinctive harpsichord and guitar intro followed by Jim Yester's excellently fitting lead vocal,obscure(drug related?) lyrics and what was to become the trademark backing vocals that made everyone sit up and listen, as well as being their introduction to the US top ten.But something completely different was to come next,the follow up single was a beautiful slow love song sung by a different lead vocalist(Terry Kirkman) with a classy baritone voice - Cherish was nonetheless just as cool as "Mary" in it's own way and stayed at number 1 for weeks,ending up being one of the best selling singles of the year in America.The flipside "Don't Blame It On Me" was a real gem,a great number delivered with a passionate Russ Giguere lead vocal, the trumpet imitating backing vocals making you realise that these guys were very special.Then came the pyschedelic "Pandora's Golden Heebie Jeebies","Looking Glass" and the wonderful,heartbreaking "No Fair At All",sadly all minor hits but all lead by different vocalists - how many singers did this group have for heavens sake? Just as it was thought that the Association had had their day(two misses at the top ten usually spelt the end of the road in those days)along came Windy and placed the group back where they belonged, at the top of the US charts.A cracking song,another harpsichord intro,a great driving lead vocal and top notch backing vocals - how could it fail! The rest of disc one is filled by more first class songs,"Never My Love",Everything That Touches You" - both monter hits in the states, and their only British hit "Time For Living".The "B" sides which were anything but throwaways are all included here,each one filled with the best backing vocals you could ask for.
Disc two has everything disc one has except one crucial factor - a big hit.But no matter, the quality was every bit as good and "Goodbye Columbus"(from the film of the same name),"Under Branches","Look At Me Look At You","Along The Way" and Jimmy Webb's "PF Sloan" are all sensational - in fact there really isn't a duff moment across either disc.The booklet that comes with this superb set gives a short narration of every track by various group members and is the cherry on the top.Summing up then-so much talent,so many brilliant songs and not nearly enough long term success - if only they had taken "McArthur Park" when Jim Webb offered it to them. Great Stuff!
