Notes:  Known primarily through their radio friendly tunes like "Windy" or "Never My Love" The Association were the perfect soundtrack for a nice summer day. But a listen to this disc and you also see their tastes touching on garage rock and a bit of the sixties psychedelic. Always layered with tight harmonies and a folk pop feel the band takes us on a short walk through the flowers and leaves us feeling a little happier for the journey. The cover gives us portraits of the individuals and a group shot under the blossoms.
