Album Notes & Community Reviews
Consolidating the massive, rapid success of their late-60s international breakthrough, this compilation highlights the trio's incredibly sophisticated approach to orchestral pop. Characterized by lush, sweeping string arrangements and their signature, impeccably dramatic vocal harmonies, the collection gathers early, melancholic masterpieces like 'Words' and 'I've Gotta Get a Message to You.' It serves as a vital reminder of their profound, melancholy brilliance long before their defining disco reinvention.
