4.0 out of 5 stars I can still remember, November 25, 2003

This CD contains some of the best songs by the quintessential bubblegum group, The 1910 Fruitgum Company. The group had three big hits: "Simon Says", "1,2,3, Red Light" and "Indian Giver". As you can see from these song titles, most of the Fruitgums hits were based on children's games and sayings. Sure, this music may be juvenile, but it's a lot of fun. I would recommend this CD to fans of bubblegum music. I wanted to mention a couple of things here. The songs on the CD are in stereo, other than "Sticky, Sticky" and "Reflections From the Looking Glass", which are in mono. Also, the liner notes here claim that Joey Levine was the lead singer of the 1910 Fruitgum Company. This is simply not true. Mark Gutkowski sang lead on most of the Fruitgums hits. Joey Levine sang lead on most of the Ohio Express hits. Although Levine did sing lead on one song here, "Baby Bret", which was a b-side. "Baby Bret" also has one of the strangest endings of a pop song I ever heard. The song fades out, and then there is a brief comedy routine about Superman.

It is basically the vinyl "Juiciest Fruitgum" LP from the old Buddah label with some other "filler" tracks" added. I hadn't listened to them in years, I remember them as sounding better back then. I guess the ears of a fifteen year old are different than a fourty-five year old!

3.0 out of 5 stars Simon says play this record and have fun., May 5, 2000

A musical cotton-candy delight. Still provides a welcome celebration of the lighter side of life for those of us who came to age during a turbulent era.
