Album Description

The Forum... A long-lost piece of the soft pop/psych pop puzzle...on eccentric L.A. label Mira records, home of the Leaves, satirical gay duo Teddy and Darrell, some of L.A.s best ever soul records, and Bobby Jameson aka Chris Lucey. Put together and produced by musicologist and exotic-meister Les Baxter, the Forum were inspired by the crossover success of Brazil '66, and Bob Crewe's 'Now Sound'. 'The River Is Wide' scored them a big hit in 1967. Backed by the cream of 1960s L.A's Wrecking Crew sessionmen, Les Baxter produced an unknown masterpiece of soft pop, grooving at the Playboy Mansion. Flower Power in a ratpack friendly way...a classic! Never before on CD. Includes 9 bonus tracks 'Go Try To Put Out The Sun', 'This Is For The Moment World', 'I Fall In Love (All Over Again)', 'Tell The World', 'I Got The Blues', 'Such A Cad' & 'River Is Wide' (unreleased alternate takes #1, #2 & #3).

I concur with the review by Michael Wiggins. This CD is H-U-G-E! They say you can't go home again? I disagree! This is as close as it gets. Nothing surprises me any more, but this version of the River Is Wide comes v-e-r-y close. It's a gas!
