various artists - Riot on Sunset Strip Tower T-5065 USA 1967 Still Sealed 60's soundtrack albums have always held a special charm, especially those released on the Tower label, from Psych-Out to Wild in the Streets to this classic, Riot on Sunset Strip . The Standells open with the title song, and it would be a refreshing change of pace to hear this clever little gem instead of "Dirty Water" for the nine millionth time on oldies and classic hits stations. While the Sidewalk Sounds come off like some bubblegum surf group, especially with the Gary Lewis sound-alike " Make the Music Pretty ," " Sunset Sally " from the Mugwumps gives the album some serious credibility. Debra Travis adds a folky/earthy stamp with her one track, " Old Country ," but it's the Mugwumps and songs by the Chocolate Watch Band and Standells which are the collectors items. The Standells make " Get Away From " sound vocally very Strawberry Alarm Clock , while Drew delivers an above-average '60s filler tune, " Like My Baby ." It would fit nicely any time on some college radio retro show. Dave Aguilar's Chocolate Watch Band gives the album real grit and attitude; " Don't Need Your Lovin' " is fierce, and " Sitting T Standing " even meaner. CWB took this opportunity seriously and it shows. This copy is Still Sealed in its Original Shrinkwrap! Worldwide Postage: read more
