THE BOX TOPS「THE LETTER」サイケデリック・ポップ/ソフトロック ・コーラス・カヴァー！ベースはチャック・レイニー！
双子の兄弟らで構成された4人組の夢心地ソフトロック・コーラス・グループ。MARGO GURYAN「SUNDAY MORNING」を彷彿させるような、けだるいサイケデリック・ポップ・アレンジが秀逸な「THE LETTER」(THE BOX TOPS)や「MR. BUS DRIVER」(BLUES CHANNEL)が最高。華やかでみずみずしい「GOOD DAY SUNSHINE / GOTTA GET YOU INTO MY LIFE」(HARPERS BIZARRE)、「MOST OF ALL」(THE MOONGLOWS)、フワフワと柔らかいアレンジの「TOUCH ME」(THE DOORS)、「LIKE A ROLLING STONE」(BOB DYLAN)、黒煙が舞い上がるようなファズ・ギター入りの「HEY JOE」(JIMI HENDRIX)などのカヴァーも強烈です。US ORIGINAL盤！
