• Track Listing

Digitally remastered collection from the New York 'Sunshine Pop' band's only LP from 1967 along with all of their non-LP singles in their original mono mixes, making this the first ever complete collection by these masters of Soft Pop. From Rochester, NY, The Blades of Grass were one of the prime East Coast exponents (along with the Free Design) of that usually West Coast genre of Sunshine Pop and were one of the later signings to legendary New York Doo Wop label Jubilee Records, Their complex, baroque harmonies and optimistic atmosphere having a much overlooked but firm second front in the city that never sleeps, indeed the group's first hit single "Happy" went head to head in a chart battle with LA's Sunshine Company. Their version of the title track of the Peter Sellers film "I Love You Alice B. Toklas" also rivaled Harpers Bizarre's version shortly afterwards, though the Blades' version somewhat had the edge stylistically, with it's vocal phasing and Psychy effect-laden intro and outro. Rev-Ola. 2009.
