Few of the Things We Love

Written by a pre-fame David Gates and produced by arch eccentric Kim Fowley at Gold Star Studios in Hollywood, the Murmaids' recording of 'Popsicles And Icicles' was one of the smash hits of 1963, girl group ground zero. Titled after a line in their famous hit, 'A Few Of The Things We Love' includes the group's complete recordings for the Chattahoochee label, many of which have not appeared on CD before, including one featuring lead vocals by Jackie DeShannon. Highlights include 'Wild And Wonderful' (a song intended for Lesley Gore), the folk rock-style 'Go Away' and an unlikely cover of Traffic's 'Paper Sun', issued on Liberty in 1968.
