I love this CD! The Mamas and the Papas were such talented individual artists and this CD shows just how much work was put into their careers. Although this CD misses a lot of the greatest by the Big Three and the Mugwumps that is only available on the Big Three cd and Mugwumps only vinyl album, it does contain unreleased tracks that you can't even get on a record! I recommend this to any M&P fan or anyone who likes folk music. It is GREAT!

This cd is amazing! Any fan of the Mamas and Papas or of folk music needs this cd. Some of these songs you can find no where else.This cd is definitely MAGIC !

This CD is perfect for you if you are a HUGE fan of the Mamas And The Papas or just really like folk music. Some of the songs may not appeal to many people's ears but if you collect Mamas and The Papas music, this is a very good album to pick up. I have been listnening to it nonstop! The tracks from The Mugwumps are particulary valuable, because as far as I recall they do not have any albums on CD.

My reaction falls between the two extremes here -- I enjoyed it and have enjoyed re-listening to the CD several times. Much is derivative (like the wonderful Brothers-Four style "The Man Who Wouldn't Sing Along with Mitch") Very interesting to hear them before they hit the right material and format. And enjoyable on its own.

Wow....was I disappointed by this disc. As a devout Mamas and Papas fan, it is hard to describe how bad this disc is. The covers by The New Journeymen are laughable and should have remained unreleased. The good stuff on this disc is available on either the double disc best-of-set or other CD's. There is one interesting moment, the cover of "Tom Dooley" sounds exactly like Bananarama's cover of "Venus". nuff said. Completists only.
