Classic 1960s Harmonies

Roy: Crispian St Peters' version is great. The We Five version had a bit more of a rough edge and in a folk rock style.

Peter can you put a copy of your post #4708 in the thread entitled 1966 Best Year for Pop Music.

It will help clear up the question that was asked there.

Thanks very much.

Those super powers you possess Peter to move posts around at will.

Now my last post is just hanging there with no relevancy. Oh well.

Roy thanks for sharing Crispian St Peters' version. I don't recall hearing that version before either.

I'd never heard the Crispian St. Peters version either, but to me it's so under-produced it sounds unfinished. Perhaps it's just that I'm used to the WE FIVE version.

Hi Roy- Sorry, the email address given has been inactive for a couple of months due to a recent move. Nothing personal, but I really want to cut down on my spam, as I'm sure you do. I tried to email you personally, but it says 'email address hidden'. What now???

Steve,

If you like drop me a note off line and I will send his e-mail address to you.

Brian

Mr Dieingly Sad - WOW! Like was said earlier ... how in the world did such talent not make more hits? GREAT harmonies.

I hear echo's of "Call Me" by Chris Montez (1966). "Dieingly" is a better / more complex song than Call Me but I wonder if either one copied from the other? Probably.

That is SOOOO early. They look like the 1961 Beach Boys...

By the time MDS was released, they had moved on to longer hair and corduroy.

MDS was a fluke. Their "Greatest Hits" compilation showcases over 20 of their songs, of which most are their compositions.
I awaited it anxiously after ordering it several years ago.

When it arrived, I listened to it through once. It was difficult, because MDS was song #5, and there was nothing in # 1-4 anywhere near as well-written, -sung, -played, or produced.

It was as if the band in the above photo played everything except "MDS" and when song #5 (MDS) came on, another bunch of guys--this time real prodigies--stepped in and gave the above geeks a pee break.

that is so weird! I'm listening to MDS for about the 5th time this afternoon and they just sound soooooo smooth.... like they could knock out beautiful songs like that all day long.

It was a big disappointment to me, as I had my mind set on another dozen lost gems.

Dang...I wish I could post some .wav files or sound .mpgs somehow...you guys wouldn't believe it...

Paul post the songs the same way Roy does.

Kent I suspect that is a much more appropriate picture relative to MDS
