Seeing this again, I was transported back in time to the early months of '68, when I first saw the LP in a record store. Already a fan of the 5th D, I never hesitated in buying it. What a totally glorious tapestry of sound; Jimmy Webb's gorgeous music (and lyrics), the fabulous vocal interplay of all members of the 5th Dimension, woven together seamlessly and beautifully by Bones Howe. And nobody else bought the record; baffling & puzzling to me at the time, but that just made it all the more of a personal treasure -- it was their loss.
And now you can have it, restored at last to its rightful place as a classic; many thanks to Rev-Ola for wisely moving "Ticket To Ride" out of the middle of this exquisite song cycle and dumping it at the end of the disc (it's okay, but doesn't compare to the brilliance around it). Forty-one years have passed me by, and I still have not heard any song more deeply romantic, personal and powerful as "Requiem: 820 Latham." Believe me when I tell you that the songs you DON'T recognize are the ones that you just have to hear, which is why you just have to have this for your own.

Wish I had bought the LP when released Now I know where Jim Webb got the concept for The Richard Harris LP " A Tramp Shining" released 7 months later. I have both on CD now Well worth the buy especially finally having " Carpet Man" and " Magic Garden" in stereo.
