16 of Their Greatest Hits

Cass Elliott had one of the sweetest voices until a heart attack silenced her in her 30s.

I started becoming a Mamas & the Papas groupie in the 70's when I grew up. Anytime I listen to their songs, it brings back wonderful memories. This has all of my favorite songs on it. I was going to purchase vinyl but decided I didn't want the interruption of having to flip the records. This provides continuous playing through all 16 of some of thier greatest hits. It's got my favorites on it and the sound is clear. I've not turned it way up to see how crystal clear it is (trying to be respectful of neighbors) but plan to on my next car trip.

Good selection of songs and plays with no skips. Very happy

brings back memories

If you want to hear the Mamas and the Papas like you never heard them before, this is it! Remastered by an obvious genius, Steve Hoffman, this cd comes through with such clarity on all fronts, that it will shock you, yes shock you! Although the magic that is the Mamas and the Papas is evident in all of their recordings, this one here is so well put together, that there is no comparison. It's that good. I compared this with the other "Sixteen Greatest Hits" and didn't even make it through the the first song to know that this was really something special. If your a M&P's fan, this will certainly make your day. If your not a M&P's fan, you will become one after playing this!

This review is for the Canadian 1986 MCA CD mastered by Steve Hoffman.Excellent sonics, most of their original records don't sound this good. You can hear tape hiss and imperfections but this is a 50+ year old recording so thats to be expected. Nice warm sound that can be cranked up. A+

Typically the original recording/production quality from this era is substandard due to it being made for AM radio. Not so with this CD. Based on another customer's recommendation I chose this compilation over several others and am not disappointed. Very nice sound and a decent selection of their work.

My favorite "folk" style band possibly ever. "California Dreamin'" is/was one of the most requested songs EVER and is mentioned even in rap songs in the last decade(California Love by Dr. Dre and Tupac Shakur mentions this song in the lyrics). I WILL NEVER GET TIRED OF THIS BAND and I mainly listen to hard rock and hard rap which this cd CERTAINLY is not. 60's "folksy"-like rock that will never die. It stands the test of time, period. 'Nuff said.
