• Track Listing

No matter what the weather is where you are, this anthology from the ’60s California pop group will bring plenty of sunshine. The heavenly harmonies and upbeat sound of Harpers Bizarre had everyone "feelin’ groovy" when they released their Warner Bros. LPs "Feelin’ Groovy," "Anything Goes," "The Secret Life of Harpers Bizarre" and "Harpers Bizarre 4." Top LA guns like Randy Newman, Van Dyke Parks, Jack Nitzsche and Lowell George are all over these 1967–69 LPs, which here are augmented by their A- and B-sides in chronological order. You’ll hear their breakthrough smash 1967 version of Paul Simon’s "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin’ Groovy)," their Top 40 hit "Come to the Sunshine," their hit versions of "Anything Goes" and "Chattanooga Choo Choo," their 1968 hit "Battle of New Orleans," their singular spins on "Knock on Wood," "Hard to Handle," "Leaving on a Jet Plane," "Sentimental Journey," "Both Sides Now," "Blackbird" and more lushly layered Larry Waronker productions! el.
