Hey, you guys have made some great suggestions, thanks to all who responded (Though keep 'em coming if there are more ;-)
As for "Home and away" and "Would you believe" yeah those are very cool indeed... Veering slightly away from the BB theme I wanted to throw out a couple of classic albums I just bumped into (Around the same time as Home and away and Would you believe so I tend to lump them together though they are very different) Anyone with a taste for 60's Baroque Pop or Soft Pop REALLY ought to look into these two:
For Women Only - Bergen White - Don't let the title or cover dissuade you this is a CLASSIC album. If David Gates as a member of the Left Banke sounds like something you'd be interested in hunt this one down!
Highest recommends.
Shaun Harris - S/T - He was a member of the clumsily titled West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band (which their music never really worked for me all that much I must admit) but this solo album is a stunner. Wrecking Crew backup band ....his father (A well known film composer) did the orchestral arrangements... it's one of those hidden gems from the 60's that Sundazed unearthed and released.
