专辑介绍

This 13-song CD reveals a wider range than the the Murmaids' status as one-hit wonders would lead one to expect. The title tune, driven by a softly strummed rhythm guitar behind the gentle, ethereal singing of the trio, is a quintessential piece of early '60s pop/rock, not as striking as &To Know Him Is to Love Him& but still memorable. The '40s pop standard, &Playmates& (covered by Sandy Stewart in Go Johnny Go) turns up as a bouncy pop/jazz style number, the trio backed by piano, bass, and drums. &You Cheated& is pretty, if routine, girl-group fare, but the version of &Mr. Sandman& has an upbeat feel with a certain touch of earthiness. &Alone& is a throwback to doo wop sounds, complete with a &yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah& chorus and a very busy rhythm section, with the Murmaids trying hard emulate the Marcels' &Blue Moon.& &Don't Forget& seems to have been producer Kim Fowley's attempt to mimick the Crystals, complete with an anthem-like chorus, a driving beat, and a pseudo-Spector backing band. The coming-of-age love song &So Young& shows more healthy lust than much of the trio's other repertory. The outstanding track, however, is &Wild and Wonderful,& a soaring ballad with a ravishing array of hooks, a gorgeous organ-and-guitar arrangement, and a haunting fade-out. And anyone who wants more like &Popsicles and Icicles& will find it in &Heartbreak Ahead& and &Three Little Words.& Strangely enough, one of their big hit's two B-sides, &Blue Dress,& is present, but not the other, &Huntington Flats.&
