Synopsis

Product Description
Though A Gathering of Flowers was put together by ABC/Dunhill Records in 1970 immediately after the demise of the Mamas and The Papas, it was much, much more than the typical record label greatest hits collection cash-in. Not only did the 20-song double-album include classic 60s cuts like California Dreamin, Monday, Monday, I Saw Her Again, I Call Your Name, Creeque Alley and Dedicated to the One I Love, but it served as something of an audio documentary of the band, offering rehearsals, outtakes and interview snippets from John Phillips and Cass Elliot in between the tunes. The boxed-set also offered a photo-packed, 16 page booklet with excellent liner notes by Andy Wickham alongside the dozens of rare images, all of which we have reproduced here on Real Gone Music for this historic collection s CD debut. Composed of four outsized personalities Cass Elliot, John Phillips, Michelle Phillips and Denny Doherty the Mamas & The Papas were always about more than just the music. A Gathering of Flowers preserves and presents their full legacy better than any single-CD anthology available. Remastered from the original tapes by Mike Milchner at SonicVision.
