Walk Away Renee was class, and several other tracks were great, so I'm going to have to join in.

If it were not for the mistake that was Ivy Ivy, which was really just Michael Brown and session musicians creating a record that caused so much anger both within the band and the business (and I'm sure with their fans once they heard the news), they would have made it beyond the first round, seriously. Desiree is one of the under rated singles of '67 Pop, and the sadly-named Too had some solid moments which live up to the raves. I'm not the biggest fan (Pretty Ballerina was a little light for me), but what they had was alright and worthy of investigation - Get the Mercury collection of everything they released in The 60's, great presentation, excellent notes...you can't go wrong.
