Now this is a really great album. Have a similar collection on CD but seeing this for $4 at Real Groovy on their original label with the records in top condition meant any easy decision. Lovin' Spoonful were a band that for about 2 years were in the premium league of American Pop bands. Troubles with marijuana busts and supposed shopping of their supplier blew their credibility a bit and they never recovered.
John Sebastian was one of the MC's at Woodstock and had a hit with the theme from Welcome Back Kotter in the mid 70s.
Just read the history of Elektra Records and Sebastian gets credit as a kind of unpaid scout for Jac Holzman who regretted not signing them.
This has all the great hits Do You Believe In Magic, Did you Ever have to make up your mind, Summer in The City, You Didn't Have to be So Nice (Introduced by Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits and my personal favourite Darling Be Home Soon (well covered by Joe Cocker - but this is the one for me.
