Title: Harper's Bizarre Post by: The Heartical Don on September 20, 2009, 02:43:40 AM 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? Title: Re: Harper's Bizarre Post by: dogear on September 20, 2009, 07:44:21 AM Stunning arrangements (Nick deCaro, Bob Thompson)
Just compare their two versions of "Cotton candy sandman" - great!! Title: Re: Harper's Bizarre Post by: SG7 on September 20, 2009, 11:23:42 AM They are too happy for my taste. After side 1 I just want to yell at them to lay off the green stuff :lol :lol

Some good sunshine pop sounds.
