The Love Generation
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 1966 Stereo Original. “Of The Many Sunshine Pop Groups That Proliferated In Southern California In The Late '60s, The Love Generation Were One Of The Most Wholesome And Downright Sunniest. "Sunniest" Is Not Necessarily Synonymous With "Best," Even For A Genre Called "Sunshine Pop." The Love Generation's Records Were About As Over-The-Top As Their Name In Their Smiley-Face, See-No-Evil, Upbeat, Even Anodyne Harmonized Pop/Rock, Commercial Enough To Often Be Mistaken For Commercial Jingles. Taking The Advances Of Sunshine Pop Godfathers And Godmothers The Mamas & The Papas To The Most Saccharine Extremes (With Echoes Of The Beach Boys And The Association As Well), The Love Generation Released Three Albums In 1967 And 1968, Getting Small Hit Singles With "Groovy Summertime" And "Montage From How Sweet It Is (I Knew That You Knew)." The Love Generation Were Not Quite As Faceless As Some Acts Plundering This Territory, Though, As Much Of Their Material Was Written By Brothers John Bahler And Tom Bahler. The Arrangements Were Densely Crafted Blends Of Male-Female Vocal Harmonies And Orchestrated Pop/Rock That Put Quite A Bit Of Frosting On The Incessantly Chipper Tunes.” AMG - Richie Unterberger
