PAUL WILLIAMSが在籍したグループTHE HOLY MACKERELが1969年にリリースした、ロジャニコ作曲の泣きメロ・ソフトロック「BITTER HONEY」のカヴァーを収録。JACKIE DE SHANNONやTHE FOUR FULLER BROTHERS、オーストラリアのTHE CHARADEなども同曲の素晴らしいカヴァーを残していますが、こちらも素晴らしいです。さらに注目すべきはCHUCK BERRY「MEMPHIS」のカヴァーもファンキーで最高なのでスルー厳禁。「A MAN AND A WOMAN」、「IT’S NOT UNUSUAL」、「EVERYDAY PEOPLE」、「FACES」など、どれも流石のコーラス・ワーク。アレンジを手掛けているのは名匠MIKE MELVOIN！US ORIGINAL盤！
