Come On Get Happy!: The Very Best of the Partridge Family [Original recording remastered]

Amazon.com
It doesn't happen all the time, but occasionally kitsch burrows itself into the popular consciousness and stays put because it's timelessly, compellingly good. Such is the case with The Very Best of the Partridge Family, which at long last allows pop aficionados who have closeted their dirty-little-secret obsession with the fictitious TV group to come clean. Never mind the ruffles and dove-wing lapels—heartthrob hang-ups aside, David Cassidy can sing (skip "I Think I Love You" and check his soul chops on the raging "Roller Coaster" or his Elvis-like vocal nuances on "Point Me in the Direction of Albuquerque" instead.) And it doesn't hurt that the material he crooned was penned by some of the era's top songwriters. Barry Mann and Cynthia Weill, for example, lent their graceful imagery to "Looking Through the Eyes of Love," and Gerry Goffin was behind "I'll Meet You Halfway." Add to that the band's layered-harmony-nailing background singers and a stash of sensational session players, and it can't be helped: You get happy. -Tammy La Gorce

Purchase for a friend.......2007-06-08

I purchased this and another cd for a gf of mine...she loves them both! Thank you! :)

Journey Down Memory Lane.......2007-04-19

Journey down memory lane. This is one of the best collections from the Partridge Family I have found. My brother and I are oldies nostalgic nuts and have been looking for a collection that included "Let The Good Times In.

There have been more recent collections done but have not included this title song from the pilot episode.

Enjoy a time of simplier days.

"TOGETHER(HAVIN" A BALL)FINALLY ON CD!!!!!!.......2007-04-09

My first 8-track tape was "the Partidge Family Album". I loved the show as a kid. Then I got their next album...and the next...and the next.But my favorite song was never on it...until now. "Together(havin' a ball)" is finally on CD! Groovy!!!

Clean Clear Sound.......2007-03-30

This is a disc that has some cuts from the show(previously unreleased) and if your a fan of The Patridge Family then this disc is for you. Not only is the sound clear and crisp, its chock full of memories too. If your use to these songs on your old vinyl as they were way back in the 70`s then these remasters will knock your socks off.

Awww... Memories.......2007-03-22

Sometimes you just get a tune in your head and ya gotta hear it. That's what prompted me to buy this CD. These feel good songs do just that, they make you feel good. It's light reading for the soul and I think we all need that every now and again.
