THREE OTHER COPIES CURRENTLY ON EBAY AS OF 12-3-2018: $105 (VG+/VG++), $64 (VG+/VG+), $38 (VG+/VG+) (incl. post.).
Beautiful copy of this sunshine pop classic. The band throws in a bit of West Coast Psych *(after all, it came out in the Summer of 1967 (aka: Summer o' LUV). They had some nationwide success with the track "Yellow Balloon"(#25 on the billboard charts). Of interest, on the front cover, the guy second from the left is Don Grady from the TV situation comedy "My Three Sons".
Born Don Agrati in San Diego, California, Don Grady became a Mousekeeter, along with 23 others,
when that show debuted in 1955. In 1960, he joined My Three Sons (1960), which debuted in
1960 and ran for 12 years. As an enthusiast of music after "My Three Sons" ended, he continued in
music as a composer and songwriter. One of his songs was the theme for "Donahue"(1967). Don
appeared in many other US TV shows as a guest star but he will always be known as "Robbie
Douglas", the middle son from "My Three Sons". The show ran for 12 years and 356 episodes.
He also released a solo rock & roll LP in 1973 under his real name titled "Homegrown", which I will post when I find it in my collection.
Stored vertically in a smoke free environment for 51 years.
