Free Music Notes for The Complete Mercury Recordings
Free Music Review: Excellent remastering, poor pressing
Hit: 4 Stars
I still have my two c.1970 Spanky and Our Gang records so was thrilled to find these recordings on CD. The remastering seems to be of high quality but the pressings are terrible. It took two replacements before I had a set of CDs that would all play past about track 20. Fortunately Amazon.com sent replacements promptly - Thank you Amazon.com. Would have rated five stars if the pressings were of the same quality as the mastering and the packaging had been standard CD format, not DVD format.
The Complete Mercury Recordings Poster
Spanky And Our Gang are a complete trip down the psychedelically-tinged sunshine days of the late Sixties. With harmonies unrivalled by almost any other band save The Mamas And The Papas, and a songbook that included Broadway classics (The Music Mans Trouble), Tin Pan Alley standards (Brother, Can You Spare A Dime) and socially-conscious anthems (Give A Damn), Spanky And Our Gang hold a unique place in pop history. Led by Elaine Spanky MacFarlane, the group embodied the eclectic, artistic, and free-spirited feeling of the era; but with roots in folk, jazz, and blues, and with sometimes as many as six members, their sound took on a complex and multi-layered character. Their collective persona was zany and theatrical and extraordinarily popular. This set, completely remastered by Ellen Fitton at Universal Mastering Studios East and produced by Grammy-winning producer Bill Levenson, includes all of the studio albums released by the band, seven previously-unreleased rarities, and an entire disc of the mono mixes of the bands singles. It also includes extensive liner notes by Richard Barton Campbell and rare photos of the band. Spanky herself was involved throughout the course of the development of the set, and is almost as excited as we are well, maybe even more to see this out on CD, as much for the bands legion of fans as for herself. Sunday will never be the same.Jazz Music CDs
