Synopsis

Album Description
Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1968 album from The Cowsills, the musical family that inspired The Partridge Family. The Cowsills possessed one of the most pleasing vocal blends in all of popular music. Captain Sad And His Ship Of Fools, the band's third long player for MGM, would prove to be a semi-conceptual album, which perfectly blended the group's earlier helium-filled soft pop buoyancy with mystical Psych Pop excursions and sunshine pop sensibilities. The thread that tied these elements together was their undeniable vocal dexterity. This brilliant reissue features six bonus tracks, including the non-LP Top 50 single "Poor Baby." The full-colour booklet also includes rare, unpublished photos, and extensive liner notes that feature the participation of original band members. Now Sounds. 2009.

Don't be a fool and grab yourself a copy!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I had been hoping a reissue of this album was to take place and when i saw this the other day, i didn't hesitate to grab it. The artwork included is nice enough incentive for anyone on the fence as well as notes from Bob Cowsill speaking about the songs for the album. Add into the fact you also get bonus tracks in mono and one which isn't on the album proper and you have yourself a must-have pick-up if you're a fan."
