White Dresses

Straddling the line between sunshine pop and easy listening, Introducing the Four King Cousins is as whitebread as you'd guess from the cover picture of four blondes in white dresses. The harmonies are accomplished but fairly soulless, and the arrangements right out of late-'60s variety television which, as it happened, the Four King Cousins had some experience with in their appearances as part of The King Family Show series. The selection of material isn't too imaginative, either, opting mostly for covers of well-known songs of the mid- to late '60s by the Beatles, the Beach Boys, Bacharach/David, Lesley Gore, and the Monkees, as well as the standards "It's All in the Game" and "Let's Get Away from It All."

The triple CD (or cassette) box set Jefferson Airplane Loves You came out at a time when major record labels were rushing out deluxe sets of about every meaningful artist of the '60s and '70s. Most of those sets hid self-indulgent, inflated "best of" collections of previously released material with a couple of alternate mixes and live tracks to lure in the fans. Loves You has some general appeal (although slimmer "best of" collections are available and cater better to the casual listener who wants to hear "White Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love"), but it is clearly aimed at the fan. Disc 1 covers the early years up to the group's second LP Surrealistic Pillow.
