180g Vinyl from Kama Sutra Mono Masters! Pressed at RTI!
Greenwich Village, 1964: While the folk boom is still in progress, other genres began seeping into the corners and clubs of lower Manhattan. Rock, once down for the count, came back with a vengeance, largely thanks to a klatch of young British bands. Roots music, especially blues, grew rapidly in popularity as folk enthusiasts expanded their horizons. In this intoxicating milieu, John Sebastian, Zal Yanovsky, Joe Butler and Steve Boone united to form the Lovin Spoonful. Originally a jug band with folk roots, they readily incorporated the sounds they heard all around them. Combining British Invasion jangle with the blues growl and folks attention to lyrical detail, they forged a sound completely their own. Accomplished musicians all, they had two secret weapons: the guitar virtuosity of Zal Yanovsky and the rising songwriting talent of John Sebastian.
By the release of their second album, Daydream, in March 1966, the bands songwriting chops had fully blossomed, particularly Sebastians, who wrote or co-wrote all but one of the songs. The albums first single, You Didnt Have to Be So Nice reached #10 on the Hot 100 and married a signature Yanovsky riff with a galloping piano part to form an indelible hook. The title track, a mid-tempo reverie with an ace whistling solo, did even better, soaring to #2. Skipping ahead a few decades, the album cut Butchies Tune was used to great effect in season five of Mad Men.
Sourced from the original Kama Sutra mono masters, this masterpiece is pressed at RTI on 180g vinyl.
