Since September 2010, this blog has recorded the journey of this music junkie as I attempt to listen to all the music in my CD collection. CDs revisited in their entirety from start to finish - no skipping tracks, no shuffle. Compact Discs only - no vinyl, no tapes, no files.

The Lovin' Spoonful - Greatest Hits (1997)


A fun trip down memory lane with a group of Hall of Famers. This compilation sticks to the John Sebastian years of the group, is light on liner notes, and front-loaded with the actual hits. Released before I was born, I can hear the first five tracks in my head without need for the CD because they've always been around.

Peak on the US Billboard Top 200 chart: Did not chart

Tracks: John Sebastian knew how to write some pop gems, didn't he?
12 tracks, 32 minutes

Missing Top 40 hits from that time period: Rain On the Roof (#10 in 1966), Nashville Cats (#8 in 1967), Six O'Clock (#18 in 1967) and She Is Still A Mystery (#27 in 1967). So I'm confused by the track selection on this one.

Personal Memory Associated with this CD: None
