The Music Explosion's only album, released in mid-1967, was unfortunately typical of the more hastily assembled packages by one-hit wonders of the time. It had the hit ("Little Bit O' Soul"), its B-side ("I See the Light"), and ten other songs, most of them written by their producers, with covers of "96 Tears" and Terry Knight's "Love, Love, Love, Love, Love" thrown in. Unsurprisingly, "Little Bit O' Soul" towers over everything else in the collection as the only really fine cut. The rest is middling garage-pop-rock, with more of a soul influence than was typical for the style. All of the tracks are on the best Music Explosion compilation, Sundazed's Little Bit O' Soul: The Best of the Music Explosion.
