The legendary pop/rock superstars The Lovin’ Spoonful (John B. Sebastian, Zal Yanovsky, Steve Boone and Joe Butler) set the music world on fire back in the '60s. With a ton of television appearances, massive concert tours and of course an amazing string of hit singles and albums, The Lovin’ Spoonful to this day are still revered and loved by their continual growing legion of fans worldwide.
In 1967, Kama Sutra Records honored these hugely popular rockers with their first hits album simply titled The Best Of the Lovin’ Spoonful. Filled with a treasure trove of number one and top charting singles and hit album tracks from their first three smash albums, this incredible LP also hit the upper rungs of the album charts the Summer of Love 1967.
No stone is left unturned, as this 12-track masterpiece is loaded with hit singles like "Do You Believe In Magic?", "You Didn’t Have To Be So Nice," "Daydream," "Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind?", "Younger Girl," plus their number one smash from 1966 "Summer In The City." As one of the more collectible albums in their Kama Sutra Records catalog, The Best Of The Lovin’ Spoonful has been out of print for many years, making it an instant collector’s item, which hasn’t seen the light of day for over four decades, that is until now!
Friday Music is pleased to present a 180g vinyl reissue of The Best Of The Lovin’ Spoonful. Mastered by Joe Reagoso (The Monkees/The Byrds/Paul Revere & The Raiders) at Friday Music Studios with Kevin Gray, this amazing pop classic truly shines in the vinyl domain. Long time unearthed vinyl mixes of their classic hit singles and solid album tracks like "Didn’t Want To Have To Do It," "Night Owl Blues" and "Jug Band Music" truly resonate as you remember them from years ago. To enhance the album, Friday has also included the original gatefold cover artwork as well as a photo insert featuring four photographs of the individual band members.
