Mamas & The Papas - 'Gold' (Geffen) Total of 32 tracks.Decent 2-CD compilation,specially for the price.Sound could be better.There are tunes here that I certainly don't remember.But,who could forget the hits?Most notable cuts include "Monday,Monday","Straight Shooter","I Call Your Name","California Dreamin'","Creeque Alley",the B-side "Look Through Any Window","The Right Somebody To Love" among others.Personally,I liked their box set 'Singles,Plus' better(see my review).Good for either the completist of any new fan.
