Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review:
The Mamas and the Papas blazed across the '60s folk-rock scene, scoring nine Top 40 hits in less than two years. So bright was their brief run that it earned them a berth in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. This set shows at least some of the reason why--there's the era-defining hit 'California Dreamin',' plus other triumphs such as 'Monday, Monday,' 'Words of Love,' 'Dedicated to the One I Love,' and the autobiographical 'Creeque Alley.' --Daniel Durchholz

- Faded dreams...Listening to the Mammas and the Papas was a real nostalgia trip but how I hate CD's with tracks that fade out before they finish, it totally spoils the experience. I have a vision of a man behind the stage at a live performance turning a big volume control down leaving the group playing and singing silently to a bemused audience. Had the tracks all been full length I would have given this CD 4 stars.

- I can dream, can't I?This indeed is probably the best selection of 'The Mamas And The Papas'. It was thoroughly enjoyable listening. Mamas Cass sings beautifully those lyrics 'Dream A Little Dream Of Me' and 'I Can Dream Can't I' and so can I. It's such a pity that she's lost to us and at such an early age too.

- Classic American popCass, Michelle, Denny, and John together led the Mamas and Papas into the rock'n'roll hall of fame. And, deservedly so!!
Cass's voice soars. I close my eyes and float among the clouds when she sings. Mama Cass's voice is legendary. These songs are classics.
