Album Notes & Community Reviews
Released during an incredibly prolific period for the group, this album successfully marries their signature lush vocal harmonies to slightly more stripped-down, rock-oriented arrangements. Highlighted by the soaring pop perfection of 'I've Gotta Get a Message to You', the record stands as a prime example of their immaculate late-1960s songwriting.
