I never thought I would ever find this on CD, but I did! Not only is the title song great (which is MUCH better than the Grass Roots version), but the rest of the CD is just as good. If you like psychedelic summer-of-love songs, this CD is for you! They sound like a cross between the Mama's and Papa's and the Fifth Dimension. It also tells of the history of the band, as well as what happened to them, and what they are all up to now. Don't miss out on this one, all you Forum fans!!

This lone album by The Forum is definitely as perfect as most reviewers here claim it is. The thing that puzzles me is that no one has pointed out that the opening track version of The River Is Wide is NOT REMOTELY the version on the original LP! Nor does this version appear as one of the bonus tracks... The odd thing is that like the version that opens this CD in mono, the real album version is ALSO in mono! I guess there was never a stereo take of this track (a bizarre idea that I find very hard to believe)...

Other than this one thing (and the odd track listing mix up with the bonuses (something Revola - God bless 'em - has had troubles with before. Those who possess Mark Eric's "Midsummer's Day Dream" on RevOla will know what I mean about the bonus tracks being mislabeled (incidentally, you should really pick up the newer version of Mark's album on Now Sounds. 28 tracks total)!

All-in-all, I have yet to find either a RevOla or Now Sounds CD that I don't like!

...but the Forum are in the top three for certain. The other reviews of this don't lie. Any 60's pop fan should have this. Seriously beautiful stuff!
