-Expertly remastered - superb
sound. American music promoter Don Kirshner was the man behind The Monkees in 1966. They
became both a television and record sales phenomenon, but when the group members insisted
that they should play their own instruments and write their own songs, Kirshner tired of the
project. So in 1968 he unleashed a pop act that would never answer back - for they were
cartoon characters!
The Archies cartoons had debuted in a 1940s' newspaper, which in turn spawned a series of
comic books. Now updated in the 60s, the six animated friends were destined to enjoy pop hits
everywhere. Produced by Jeff Barry - who also wrote most of the songs - our package revisits
their first L P, adding for good measure the Mono single cuts 'Bang Shang-A-Lang'/'Truck Driver'
that were paired as an introductory single.
Prepare to be enchanted, as you listen and read about the remarkable coterie of big names
who provided the voices for our 'cardboard cutouts'! TRACKLISTING:
