Miss Butters (with bonus tracks)

Temporarily Out Of Stock

Add Item to Want List
CD (Item 433926) RCA/Rev-Ola (UK), 1968 -- Condition: New Copy

An incredible concept album from the end of the 60s -- the only set we've ever seen by The Family Tree, but a record of baroque brilliance that sits beautifully with some of the best of its generation! The session was recorded at the same time as Nilsson's classic Aerial Ballet -- with the same arranger, producer, studio, and session musicians -- and it's got a similarly spacious feel that goes way beyond conventional pop. George Tipton's backings are simply breathtaking -- a majestic filling out of the group's initial ideas for the record, blending core Sunshine Pop tunes with strings, horns, piano lines, and more -- all produced to perfection. Titles include "Birthday/Dirgeday", "Sideshow", "Any Other Baby", "Simple Life", "Slippin Thru My Fingers", "Lesson Book Life", "Nine To Three", "Miss Butters", and "The Underture". CD also features the bonus tracks "Keepin A Secret", "Do You Have The Time", "She Had To Fly", and "He Spins Around".  © 1996-2010, Dusty Groove America, Inc.
