"SOUND MAGAZINE was the third Patridge Family album and it is said it had a more sophisticated sound compared to all the others. The creation of The Partridge Family was brilliant. Only David Cassidy and Shirley Jones really sang but they brought in other backup singers for a unique, easy to define sound. Bubble gum music? Yes, but quality pop also.



It gets forgotten that David Cassidy really had a good singing voice. This set has the hits - BROWN EYES, RAINMAKER and I WOKE UP IN LOVE THIS MORNING but it is the other tracks that stand out more. This set isn't dated at all and each song is taken seriously and provides great pleasure. The opening ONE NIGHT STAND is amazing as is the truly soulful YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME. SUMMER DAYS and LOVE IS ALL THAT I EVER NEEDED are also standouts.



For all of you Partridge Family fans, this cd has wonderful remastering and sounds great. I grew up on this music and if you did too, give yourself a present and purchase this great cd."

"I grew up with the Partridge Family. David Cassidy was my first love :) This is my favorite of the Partridge Family albums. The song "Summer Days" still to this day gives me chills. My daughters grew up with my love of Music from the 70's they are in their 20's now and can still sing along to The Partridge Family. My albums from the 70's are scratched and worn (I still have them ) They were loved and well used. Now I am buying The Partridge Family on CD and building my collection all over again.

I highly recommend this album !!!!!!!!

Enjoy :)"
