The Lemon Pipers. Who? You heard me, The Lemon Pipers. They had one big hit single in 1967, 'Green Tambourine' which I actually still have somewhere. And back then, many lead singers
in bands had nothing else to do, so liked to 'play' the tambourine.
But anyway, bought this CD (Best Of...) at the Orange County Fairgrounds flea market last weekend, hey why not, it was only $1.67 as part of a 3/$5 table somebody had. (also bought a Joe Walsh album). So, I listened to the first couple of songs, and they were pretty much bubble-gum type pop, much like 'Green Tambourine' was. But then, it changed, and many of the following songs had a more psychedelic sound, and were quite interesting. So I'm glad I picked it up. Of course, you may never get a chance to, this CD was done over in England (an import for $1.67!!) But if you ever find a 20 track Best Of the Lemon Pipers (maybe at a flea market) go ahead and pick it up, you'll probably find something you like on this album.
