"Really enjoyed it, and i feel Marvin is severly underrated on this side. Heard it through the Grapevine is great, but i also loved the opener "You". This is his first album where we can hear the sound of his Magnum Opus "What's Going On", and i recommend it to anyone who enjoys Soul" Reply
"What an alb um, top craftmanship. The guitar sound is reasonably heavy for BB" Reply

"Jazz + Bossa Nova = Pure dopeness. I was thrilled to hear the actual song from The Pharcyde's sample for their hit Runnin'. Saudade Vem Correndo is my favorite track here. Not better than the red record but still an excellent listen." Reply

"It's ok but two things need to be pointed out: -The sound is awful. The quality of this recording is so poor that almost make it unlistenable. There are 30s and 40s recordings that sound better and clearer than this. -The album turns from R&B to hollow beat/pop from #8 onwards. The quality of son..." [+] Reply
"Dancing in the Street, Nowhere to Run, and Mickey's Monkey are the hits on the record. There's some serious awesome bass tone on this record. I also liked Mobile Lil The Dancing Witch and Nobody'll Care." Reply

"Another one of the greatest folk albums I've ever heard. Phil Ochs is an under-rated folk legend. His first album is proof of that." Reply

"A very good debut album by the most famous Californian psych rock band. Although it is the only one without Grace Slick, Signe Anderson had a very similar voice to hers. Marty Balin did a great job on this album, both as a songwriter and as a singer, his voice is full of 'heart and soul'. Great b..." [+] Reply
