VA - Gettin' Together Groovy Sounds from the Summer of Love ( LP Rhino Records 2017) @ 320

1967 Summer Of Love" series

Quite an eclectic collection from Rhino Records from the "1967 Summer Of Love" series. What the compilers of the collection were guided by, having stuffed Dionne Warwick and The Electric Prunes into one box - at first seems a mystery. Perhaps Groovy Sounds, it's when you are calmly rocking on the light wave of "The Windows Of The World" and suddenly you are completely covered by the wave of "I Had Too Much To Dream". But this is the charm of this collection - in unexpected turns and the understanding that different people can end up in the same boat. This is "Groovy Sounds from the Summer of Love"
