Title: Not up to the legacy
Review: The Mamas and the Papas were one of the major bridges between folk and pop-rock in the early sixties. Their music was without peer, between the strength of John Phillips' compositions and the execution of them by the group as a whole--most memorably Michelle Phillips and Cass Elliot--they made a profound impression that belies their short existence as a group. As such I have to agree with the previous reviewer, there's simply not enough MUSIC to justify the price of this disc.What's needed is for some enterprising executive at some huge multinational oligopoly to realize that what's really needed is to release a dvd of live and studio performances, preferably as a companion to Cass Elliot's stellar "Don't Call Me Mama Anymore" show that was broadcast on network television in the early 70s (& recently re-released on CD). THAT would rate 5 stars!
Is the review positive or negative?
