Synopsis

Album Description

With heavenly harmonies and an upbeat sound, California soft-rock gurus Harpers Bizarre launched their career with Paul Simon's '59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)', a 1967 chart smash. Using almost every big gun in Los Angeles' studio arsenal (Randy Newman, Van Dyke Parks, Jack Nitzsche, and Lowell George), Harpers Bizarre then proceeded to weave these four tapestries-now with 2 bonus tracks per CD, on Sundazed Music!

THE TIKI'S + VAN DYKE PARKS= HARPERS BIZARRE

paulkristi | Mount Prospect, Illinois United States | 12/07/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"BACK IN 1992 WHILE I WAS STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL I BOUGHT THIS ALBUM ON VINYL. I RECORDED IT ON TAPE(CASSETTE)AND OF COURSE THE SPEED OF THE TURNTABLE AND THE TAPE RECORDER WERE DIFFERENT, SO THE TAPE SOUNDED A LITTLE ON THE SLOW SIDE. THERE WERE ALSO OF COURSE A COUPLE OF POPS FROM THE VINYL. UP UNTIL NOW THIS WAS ALL I HAD. I DIDN'T WANT TO KEEP PLAYING THE RECORD(PRESERVATION SAKE).
THIS ALBUM IS JUST PLAIN EXCELLENT. THE DEBUT ALBUM OF THE BIZARRE IS DEFINITLY THE STONGEST AND MOST ENJOYABLE OUT OF ALL FOUR OF THEIR ALBUMS.ALL THOUGH I DO ENJOY THE OTHER 3 BIZARRE ALBUMS,"FEELIN' GROOVY" HAS PROBABLY THE COOLEST AND ONE OF THE MOST DIFFERNT AND ORIGINAL SOUNDS THAT CAME OUT OF 1967. THIS ALBUM HAS MANY HIGHLIGHTS, FROM VAN DYKE PARKS' ARRANGED "COME TO THE SUNSHINE" TO THE QUIRKINESS OF "RASPBERRY RUG," FROM SOUTH PACIFICS "HAPPY TALK" TO RANDY NEWMANS'"SIMON SMITH AND THE AMAZING DANCING BEAR." THIS ALBUM IS UNUSUALLY COMPLEX YET PLEASING. AN EXCELLENT ALBUM FOR EARLY SUMMER MORNINGS OR DREARY FALL AFTERNOONS."
