Half a teaspoon of Full Lovin'
Lovin' Spoonful deserves a full Box set of all recorded LPs.
Any single CD complilation skips favorites and shakes out hits like a turned-over salt/pepper combo on a buffet platter.

John Sebastian wrote classic songs, was as important to his time as
Irving Berlin or Cole Porter to their era.

The humor, the rhyme, the ache of the times!

awesome tunes from The Lovin' Spoonful !!!
The Lovin' Spoonful - Greatest Hits has quite a bit of their very best on a single CD compilation album. The sounds of The Lovin' Spoonful were distinct and very good to hear; and this album proves it! The quality of the sound is quite good and the artwork is very nicely done as well.

"Do You Believe In Magic?" starts the album with a fine hit from The Lovin' Spoonful; their sound is great! The electric guitar work makes this so good and they sing and harmonize to perfection! "Do You Believe In Magic?" amazes me with its great rhythm and they perform this with a lot of soul and feeling. "You Didn't Have To Be So Nice" is another tune you'll probably recognize when you hear it; this excellent number from The Lovin' Spoonful rocks well and the percussion enhances the number while marking the beat at the same time. They sing this number very well, too. "Daydream" is one of my very favorite tunes by The Lovin' Spoonful; this number has an excellent folk rock flavor to it and the harmonica and whistling really make this number shine. I really like "Daydream" a whole lot; and I predict that you will, too.

"Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind?" is an amusing song about a young man who wants two girlfriends--but it seems that he has to choose between the two and "settle" for just one of them as his girlfriend! The melody is quite catchy and memorable and many young men--and women--can relate to this song sooner or later in their lives. Excellent! "On The Road Again" has a flavor that reminds me of early rock and roll; and The Lovin' Spoonful make this a major highlight of this album. How's about that electric guitar? "Summer In The City" was yet another huge hit for The Lovin' Spoonful; they sing and play this wonderfully. I remember this song getting lots of airplay when it first hit the airwaves; and it still sounds great today!

"Nashville Cats" has another folk rock flavor mixed in with traditional country and this combination makes "Nashville Cats" a rather strong number with a bouncy, upbeat melody that I really enjoy every time I hear this song. "Coconut Grove" has a wonderful slow moody feel to it that draws in the listener and "Coconut Grove" is definitely one of the best songs ever made by The Lovin' Spoonful. "You're A Big Boy Now" again mixes folk rock and a country sound to make another fine number; "You're A Big Boy Now" has great guitar work as the band members sing this very well.

"Money" is a fine tune that I could never forget; and the sound effects are very special. There's also "Younger Generation;" and the CD ends with The Lovin' Spoonful performing "Never Going Back." "Never Going Back" is a strong number and it leaves you wanting more from this awesome group.

The Lovin' Spoonful really gave us so much while they were together; and this CD will be a joy for their fans. People who enjoy classic pop and folk rock will enjoy this music as well.
