Magic Time-The Millennium Ballroom Sessions. We've combed the Columbia vaults to present.

"First off, this set is fantastic. If you're into Boettcher, this is for you. The sound on the Ballroom stuff is great. Apparently the Revola reissue was mastered from a cassette, so if you have that you'll find the sound here startlingly crisp and present.If you're unfamiliar with this stuff and like psychedelia and lush light pop like Pet Sounds, The Millennium's Begin might be the next place to go for you. Sundazed really should have released this set in two parts with the Begin album packaged separately. I've turned many casual music listeners onto this record but few would really want to shell out [$$$] for rarities and outtakes just to get it. It belittles the album's significance that it's only available as the last disc of this box set."
Would have made 1 really good CD

(3 out of 5 stars)
"3 stars is because there is a lot of filler in the collection, like instrumental versions of songs (songs with vocals removed) and a couple of clunkers. I agree with other reviewers that "The Begin" album should be available as a seperate CD, but I feel more strongly that the "The Ballroom" with a few bonus tracks from Curt Boetchner and Summer's Children should also be a separate CD (that would be 5 stars). I think the Ballroom versions of The Island and 5 a.m. are a little better, they are not soaked in unecessary reverb. Bigger fan of Sagitarius than The Millenium, but I think that is just taste. Millenium really put out a quality product and after repeated listenings I'm sure it will grow on me."
"Begin" is masterful, a 3 CD set is a bit of overkill though

"Sundazed should issue "Begin" separately...it is a superb LP for those into late 60s AM pop music. The first two CDs have some excellent cuts, but the set approaches overkill for casual fans of Boettcher's work what with all the instrumental tracks and such. It's a shame that the early 1990s reissue of "Begin" is out of print."
The Millenium/Ballroom rerelease

"One of the lead singers of this band was my dear friend Michelle O'malley, who we lost last year to a long illness. I had only heard her private work and never heard this CD. It is so great! I love it! So much fun from that generation! Wonderful guitar! Harmonized beautifully. Michelle sounds like Karen Carpenter to me, she has such a beautiful voice. Not only do I love Michelle, but I couldn't believe how much I love this CD! REALLY! It is great!"
