Finally! - Loved this on -vinyl- when it was first released, wore out the grooves. Then bought it on cassette tape and, eventually, watched it get eaten by my car s cassette player. Then discovered that the studio never bothered to release this as a CD and was stunned. Finally, it s available (well, I just discovered it, wasn t here last time I looked for it). This is one of the CDs that should be considered an essential to one s collection. The music and vocals are still fresh after almost 40 years.
Simply the Best - To make it short and sweet..If you like beautiful songs and fantastic harmonies...this is the one..My favorite Seals and Crofts album made.And I have all of them. No radio songs here...just masterful song writing.
Year Of Sunday - FOUND LIVE!!! - YEAR OF SUNDAY was the third S&C album, released 11/01/71 and was one of their best. I saw them in a great concert at Philharmonic Hall in NYC on 11/12/71 and two days later I heard them in a 76 minute live concert broadcast from WBAI s Free Music Store. I wondered what became of that live broadcast, so a few weeks ago I went searching online in the Pacifica Radio Archives and found it! It is an excellent live concert recording with tracks from Year of Sunday, Down Home, Seals and Crofts, and others. It has been sitting on the shelves unheard for 37 years and is now available. Contact the Pacifica Radio Archives - Request Archive Number BC0709.05 (Free Music Store - No. 5 - Seals & Crofts.

Thank you amazon for this collectible music cd. And also shipping and receiving for this item was quick and fast thank you for that as well.
A Pinch Of Seals & A Dash Of Crofts - This was the 1971 Release by Jim & Dash, this Wonderful Duo was still without a Hit {In the Following Year, everything would change}. Of the Early Seals & Crofts Records: Year Of Sunday, is my Favorite.Off to a brisk start with the Minor Hit: When I Meet Them, you will notice that Many Musical Styles jump right out at you. Pop,Folk,Country and Jazz can all be present in the span of a Single Tune, this added to the finest mesh of the Two Greatest Voices since the Mid-Sixties Heyday of Simon & Garfunkel make this Music something really special. For me, Year Of Sunday shows off this Duo at the peak of their Powers. From the Epic Title Track that tells a Story of Spirit and Peaceful Leaders WITHOUT preaching, we are indeed on a Musical Journey here that I find very different to the other Popular Music of this Time {1971}. To say that this is some of the Finest Crafted Pop Music of it s Time would be at the Least an Understatement, as this Music is Complex, and at the same time so easy to soak in and enjoy on a Basic level.From the Good Time Country of: Springfield Mill to the Jazzy: High On A Mountian onto the African Styles of: Sudan Village {Paul Simon would outright steal this one to create: Graceland 15 Years later}, there is a lot to drink in here. Arrangements of these Gems almost steal the Limelight from the Harmonies, but everything fits together just right. This Great Record along with the very first Doobie Brothers Release are my two favorite American Records of a Big Year in Popular Music. This Fine Record belongs in any Music Collection...Year Of Sunday...FIVE STARS !!!
