I didn't say it was "bad". You must have misunderstood. What I will say is that it is one of the 3 worst l.p.s they ever released and that it put nails in the coffin of their recording career. What a gigantic disappointment it was [and is] in the fall of 1967. Pet Sounds...Good Vibrations...Heroes and Villains and then THAT?!?!?!?!?
Guess you had to be there. Sorry I was. After that? Most people weren't.
Sorry to derail the topic. I was responding, previously, to a direct comment. Back to it...HCTN was better originally. The 'newer' version SINGLE release was a little easier to take than the elongated L.P. travesty. The ONLY thing which would have made that Johnston imagined mega crap worse would have been Mike Love proclaiming throughout the disdainful disco diatribe that he wanted "to be your knight in shining armor." No one could be THAT stupid.![]()
