PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.

C'mon everybody, let's play 60's pop quiz, shall we? Good, let's start with the easy one: which band had the best vocalist in the 60's? No, this is not a matter of taste, it's a fact. And then the second question: which was the best US No.1 hit in that decade? That's a fact too, by the way. Yes, it is! I'm the hostess of this quiz, and I can decide which is the fact, capiche?
OK, let's get serious then and to the review... Oh, you wanted to know the answers to my questions... well, they are: The Turtles and "Happy Together". And Howard Kaylan was the fellow with that heavenly voice. I would go even so far that I would name him the vocalist of the Century. Now all Frank Sinatra fans are going to harass me, but I will take that risk.
Now, the most important question here is: is the album of that same name any good? Yes, it is. Of course there is nothing even close to the pop perfection that is "Happy Together", but few album has. Very few. There is the chirpy hit "She'd Rather Be with Me", "Guide for the Married Man", a great theme song from the film of the same name, a couple of inspired pieces, "Too Young to Be One" and "Makin' My Mind Up". "Like the Seasons" is a sweet little ballad. "Me About You" and "Think I'll Run Away" are also nice. "The Walking Song" and "A Person Without a Care" are good, without the strong pop hooks in the rest, while "Rugs of Woods and Flowers" is just psychedelic. Well, Turtles got stoned too, I mean, this was the sixties, man, so one can except something like that from them.
Overall, a well-done job. Before that they were folk-pop group, and after that they really started to write their own songs and became quite experimental. Happy Together was clearly the strongest, the most cohesive of their five albums, and the one which didn't try to be anything but a collection of quality uplifting, sunny and catchy pop songs.
