"In addition to all the supersweet bubblegum in this package ("Chewy, Chewy" and "Sweeter than Sugar" by the Ohio Express, "Goody Goody Gumdrops" by the 1910 Fruitgum Company) is a truly wonderful little overlooked gem written by Bonner/Gordon (the great songwriting team behind "Happy Together and many other greats) titled "As Long as You're Here" recorded by Zal Yanovsky, the underrated pop-folky of the Mugwumps, Lovin'Spoonful and "Alive and Well and Living in Argentina" fame. This collection also has a few good tracks by the Brooklyn Bridge, including "The Worst That Could Happen" (Johnny Maestro's finest moment after the Crests' "Sixteen Candles")."
