Underrated, IMHO. They sang sugary sweet, of course... but there was an underlying sense of irony, of 'knowing', sort of tongue in cheek. Finest three minutes: 'High Coin', composed by Van Dyke Parks. Stunning piece of West Coast Harmony Pop. Covered to great effect by the WCPAEB.

Your thoughts?

Stunning arrangements (Nick deCaro, Bob Thompson)
Just compare their two versions of "Cotton candy sandman" - great!!

Interesting group...not as mainstream as the Beach Boys or the Association but there's definitely some magic. Some good sunshine pop sounds.
