"great tunes on this CD! It's more of a "pop" cd than usual. It was recorded in the '70's and I THINK the last album recorded with Laurel Masse, their "soprano".Laurel Masse does a GREAT job on "Scotch and Soda" and Janis Siegel does quite a few tunes that should have been big hits!Alan Paul does "The Speak Up Mambo" which is really fun!My favorite tune is called "Occapella" which has this great Acapella "counterpoint" in it!! It's hard to describe, but it's funky and fun.And there's a quirky tune called "Popsicle Toes" you GOTTA hear!All in all, this is another great TMT CD! It's amazing how much really good stuff they've put out over the years, with such variety."

"Call me sentimental & old fashioned but I un-ashamedly like this album for the "tunes"... POINCIANA, CHANSON D'AMOUR, SCOTCH & SODA, IT WOULDN'T HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE as well as the whimsical Popsicle Toes & zany Speak up Mambo. It's the most "conventional sounding album" MT has to date but it still has the characteristic sound and for want of a more adequate description, is a nice compilation. And so what's so darned wrong with "nice" anyways ??!!!"

Variety, Variety, Variety!

"I bought this on LP back in 1977 in New York City. My copy of their first release was almost worn out and this one was on the shelf. What a treat to find it released on CD! Nobody does harmony like the Manhattan Transfer. They may not be for everybody's taste, but they sure are great to me. This is a neat albumn with a pretty good range of material."
