Artist:  The Lovin' Spoonful

Title:  The Best of…

Date:  1967

Label:  Karma Sutra Records   KLP-8056

Cover Design:  Acy R. Lehman

Cover Art:  Chrystal Starr Russell

Notes:  With pop favorites like "Daydream" and "Do you Believe in Magic" the Spoonful got their share of airplay. And of course everyone has heard "Welcome Back" from the Kotter show, but there is more here than clever ditties. And even if there weren't it's still a good record. Jug band musicians meeting up with the 60's west coast flower crowd and there you have it. perfect for playing with the dog in the park, a little wine and then a nap in the sun. Pair up the front cover cut-out illustration with the back cover mugging for the camera and you wonder why they didn't get a TV show following the Monkees on Saturday morning.
