Original 1968 first pressing of the second LP by the BOX TOPS who were at the peak of their success...

With 16-year-old Alex Chilton growling out lines like "Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane" and crooning trippy electric pop gems like "Neon Rainbow," Memphis' Box Tops -- heirs to the blue-eyed soul of the Rascals -- could do it both ways. Under the watchful eye of legendary producers Dan Penn and Chips Moman, the Box Tops blistered the charts with seven Top 40 hits, sprinkled throughout four wonderful albums -- all laced with enough Memphis soul and gentle psychedelia to cement the band's stature as rock & roll legends.

From beginning to end, Cry Like A Baby, is a top shelf 60's pop album. Alex Chilton had a world weary voice as a teenager and it lends a lot of integrity to songs such as "Cry Like A Baby", "Deep In Kentucky", and "Good Morning Dear". The songs are definitely American and you can hear some of the midwestern St.Louis/Memphis sound coming through, but just under that is a hint of the British Invasion sound that was popular at the time. On more than once occasion you can hear the Beatles influence in the heart of the instrumentation.
Included is the album mix (different mix from the 45 version) of "Cry Like A Baby" with a wonderful sitar and bass guitar sound. Elsewhere the band create some real gutsy sounds on "Deep in Kentucky", "Fields of Clover","727" (which lyrically harkens back to "The Letter"), and "Lost". The more tender side of Alex is displayed on "The Trouble With Sam", "I'm the One For You" and "Good Morning Dear". "Weeping Annalea" may be considered a miss, but the rest of the album is very good.
