An overlooked 60s pop gem from Margo Guryan – probably best known as the writer of the "Sunday Morning" hit for Spanky & Our Gang, but an equally great singer on her own! Margo's got a style that's towards the hipper side of girl pop in the late 60s – but one that's also free from singer/songwriter modes too – an approach that's never too serious, yet which often has a nice undercurrent of darkness in the mix. Production is somewhat poppy, but not in a commercial way – and we might well say that Guryan's work here has that same great balance of elements we love in the Mercury recordings by Spanky & Our Gang. John Hill produced, and also handled most of the arrangements – and many tunes here are Guryan originals, with titles that include "Sunday Morning", "Sun", "Love Songs", "Thoughts", "Take A Picture", "Think Of Rain", "Can You Tell", and "Someone I Know". LP, Vinyl record album

A really fantastic set of work from the wonderful Margo Guryan – songwriter of some of the hippest tunes of the late 60s scene, and one who only gave the world one full album of music before stepping aside from the studio! Margo's got roots in jazz, but also comes across with a cooler, more sophisticated style too – a blend that makes her a really unique figure, and which also maybe helps explain why her songs were recorded by such a wide range of other artists – as we can really see her charms encouraging others to dip into her music! This huge box set brings together most of the too-small recorded legacy of Guryan – her classic Take A Picture album, the great 27 Demos set that came out in later years, and a number of unreleased songs as well – all wrapped up with a beautiful package and a huge amount of notes. The set features 16 never-issued titles, and a total of 46 tracks in all – and titles include "There I Was", "Goodbye July", "If I Lose", "You Promised", "More Understanding Than A Man", "Sun", "Think Of Rain", "The 8.17 Northbound Success Merry Go Round", "What Can I Give You", "Under My Umbrella", "I Don't Intend To Spend Christmas Without You", "Timothy Gone", "The Hum", "Goodbye July", "Hold Me Dancin", "I Like To See The Bad Guys Win", and "California Shake".
