Mama's Last

The Mamas and the Papas blazed across the '60s folk-rock scene, scoring nine Top 40 hits in less than two years. So bright was their brief run that it earned them a berth in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. This set shows at least some of the reason why–there's the era-defining hit "California Dreamin'," plus other triumphs such as "Monday, Monday," "Words of Love," "Dedicated to the One I Love," and the autobiographical "Creeque Alley".

It's been more than 50 years since John Phillips, Michelle Phillips, Denny Doherty and Cass Elliot first joined their voices together in song as The Mamas and The Papas, yet the group's shimmering harmonies, rich melodies and affecting "words of love" are every bit as resonant today as during the turbulent 1960s. This month, the rich legacy of the California dreamers is being celebrated with a remarkable new 4-CD collection from TJ Lubinsky's TJL Productions!

Album released in UK as reissue of previous published in 1991, containing a compilation of 16 of the best songs of the American vocal group 'The Mamas & The Papas'. The group produced a sound that was characteristic of the late 60's folk rock and pop, threading sweet harmonies and evocative themes with young voices certainly somewhat ahead of its time. Here are collected topics featured unforgettable as 'Monday, Monday', 'California dreamin', 'Dream a Little Dream of Me', 'Dedicated to The One I Love' and 'I Saw Her Again Last Night' among others.
