WELCOME TO LPCDREISSUES
The wonderful Tina Mason exploded on the L.A. scene in 1966, appearing at Disneyland and later starring as a regular on Dick Clark's Where The Action Is, where she met future husband and Paul Revere & The Raiders bassist Phil Fang Volk. "
After fronting Tina & The Mustangs, she embarked upon recording 1967's Is Something Wonderful! with Electric Prunes producer David Axelrod and the great L.A. arranger H.B. Barnum (Lou Rawls/Supremes/Sinatra). The result was a sumptuous blend of Bacharachian L.A. soft pop and Northern soul/girl group attitude. Northern soul collectors have long coveted Tina's LP and accompanying singles. "
These days it is not uncommon for Is Something Wonderful! to exchange hands for three figures. This first-ever CD release features the talents of no less than Wrecking Crew royalty Earl Palmer and Dennis Budimir and is enhanced with seven first-time-on-CD bonus tracks. The 16-page color booklet also includes rare, unpublished photos and comprehensive liner notes that feature the participation of H .B. Barnum and Tina herself."
