Description
The Association were simply one of the finest, most beloved, and most commercially successful American vocal groups of the 1960s. Yet a complete singles collection of their golden Warner Bros. & Valiant years (1966-1971) has never been collected UNTIL NOW! Although the popular six-man band initially developed a straight-laced, M.O.R. image, they were actually much more dynamic than that. They helped pioneer the new musical genre dubbed Folk-Rock by Troubadour owner Doug Weston and fused this sound with a sophisticated vocal blend that was on par with the Beach Boys. And contrary to their hop-sack-suited image, they were all spiritual seekers, with one member, Jules Alexander, leaving the band for a pilgrimage to India nearly a year before the Beatles. The deluxe, double Digipak includes a full-color booklet with previously unpublished photos, and extensive liner notes featuring track-by-track commentary from original band.
