I was greeted with an awesome surprise on Amazon this morning:

Listen Listen: The Definitive Collection [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] 
The Merry-Go-Round 

I never thought I would see another greatest hits by this band.  29
remastered tracks, which consists of the entire Merry-Go-Round LP AND
Emitt Rhodes' American Dream LP, plus a few extras.

Here's a few blurbs of interest:  

"Of all the cult West Coast 60's groups, perhaps the most talked about
and referenced over the last few years have been The Merry Go
Round...though bizarrely, the last reissue of their work was a Rhino
vinyl best of in 1984!"

"Lavish artwork with interviews with band members / others, memorabilia
and unseen photos… all that jazz… and is a must for all fans of west
coast 1960's pop and all those who'd like to hear what collectors and the
current crop of US bands are going on about…"

Is that truth or just part of the sales pitch?  Have people really been
talking, referencing, or "going on about" this band in the last few
years?  Anyways, very cool.  Here's the link:
