Product description

Product Description

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'. Universal. 2005.

A dream to own this cd.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 June 2018

West coast,laid back anthems from hippy folk rockers:
Call the Mamas and the Papas what you like,and shove them into any niche box you wish to; this four part harmony vocal/instrumental group from the '60's,shone briefly but produced some timeless classics of the era.
California dreaming,Monday Monday,dedicated to one I love,Creque alley etc,still heard regularly on (some) radio stations today.
Also included are 'Mama' Cass Elliot's best known songs; Dream a little dream of me,It's getting better and make your own kind of music.
N.B.the latter has recently been a sizeable hit for Paloma Faith at time of review.
Sad to think there is only Michelle Phillips who is still with us (on planet earth) ,from the Mamas and Papas.
With this excellent and truly smashing collection,their legacy and spirit will live on for a very long time yet - I'm quite sure!

The Best of The Mamas and The Papas

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 November 2009

Verified Purchase

OK, I know this is a very old recording in a modern format but I bought it simply because my original cassette version was virtually worn out!

In many respects the Mamas and Papas fall into a similar category as Buddy Holly - both only recorded for a short time but left a legacy behind them for which every true pop music lover should be truly glad.This is particularly true of Mama Cass who, despite a troubled life and an unfortunate death at an early age, left to the world her unique voice and a message of love.

For those of us old enough to actually remember flower power and the era of love and peace this is a must have recording. For those who were not even born at the time, and even those who are teenagers today, this is a salutary lesson in music conveying the message of an era - and the tracks remain haunting today!

... run through of the career of one of the best and most influential bands of the 60s

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 July 2014

Verified Purchase

This is a very comprehensive run through of the career of one of the best and most influential bands of the 60s, think of them as a 1960s version of Fleetwood Mac.

This band started as the backing band for Barry MCGuire "Eve of Destruction" and went on to write such beautiful melodies as Monday Monday and California Dreaming. They continued with boppy songs and then Mama Cass split for a while to have her knock-out hit "Dream a little dream of me",

This collection also includes the whimsical "Creque Alley" which lists all the bands that were trying to get up and going at that time around California, great for students of history and entertaining for nerds to run through the names and see where they fit.

All of the above named songs are on this collection except for "Eve of Destruction" but Barry McGuire does get a mention in "Creque Alley"

Best of Mamas And The Papas

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 January 2014

Verified Purchase

Although a bi lover of 1950's Rock n Roll, and early 1960's pop music I will not profess to be the greatest know-all of this group. However, I bought it because the album had the familiar songs that I knew and wished to have available to play in the car. So, on this basis I highly recommend the album, however for real M and P knowledge buffs I do not know if 'everything' is on the album or not. Finally I wish to say the quality is first class.
Cheers, DPF

Although they are a little before my time I grew up listening to the Mamas and the Papas and this brought all that wonderful music back. If you are a fan, or even if you want to learn more about their music, this CD is a great start.

This CD is cheaper than a fancy coffee, but far more satisfying.

Some great tracks, some unheard ones

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 January 2019

At this price, it's a bargain even if you haven't heard of 50% of the tracks.

All the famous ones are there and great fro cruising in the car.

Put the seat so far back you are lying down and use the satnav to tell you when to turn.

Wonderful stuff.
