Album Notes & Community Reviews
This collection gathers The Free Design's Kapp recordings, the family group's sunshine pop albums of the late 1960s. Chris Dedrick's intricate vocal arrangements and jazz harmony made records such as 'Kites Are Fun' enduring references for later acts including Stereolab.
