Title: Creative Bubblegum Music
Product review: Originally released in 1968 on Buddah. Repertoire CD reissue in 1989. For fans of this band's memorable bubble gum hits, this will be a surprise. Sure there are a couple of hits (Simon Says, Take A Giant Step and Pop Goes The Weasel)but most of the remaining tracks cover a variety of styles and stand on their own as time period nuggets. Remember that these guys were in the studio after the summer of love and pop hits would soon give way to prog. Some of these tracks appear on the hits collections but most don't - I looked. I found this in a discount bin and took a shot. I am glad I did. You may also get a simliar reaction to the Ohio Express LP tracks - recent 2-on-1 CD reissues have tracks that are more Sugerloaf than bubblegum. After giving this CD a couple of listens, it is clear that Katz Kasenetz were more musically creative than their press ever let on. Worth looking around for.
