This was one of the free ones I got when I joined the Colombia House Record Club with my sister in late &#8217;70 or early &#8217;71. This came out in  late 1969 on Roulette Records. It has all his hits including the number one&#8221;Hanky Panky&#8221; released in 1966 and their more psychedelic pop songs like &#8220;Ball Of Fire&#8221;,&#8221;Sugar On Sunday&#8221;,&#8221;Sweet Cherry Wine&#8221;, and my two favorites &#8220;Crystal Blue Persuasion&#8221; that I remember singing to myself in 1969 when we were living in Wyomissing,probably has something to do with drug use, and the wonderful &#8220;Crimson &amp; Clover&#8221; a number one hit and is the five and a half minute album version,not the edited single version. Joan Jett covered this song and it is on her best of album I will be listening to sometime in August. A record that&#8217;s 50 years old and still sounds good,no scratchiness or skips but it does sound a little worn out,it was played a lot. The gatefold cover is not in such good shape. It&#8217;s ben a while since I listened to this one. &#8220;Crimson &amp; Clover&#8221; and &#8220;Crystal Blue Persuasion&#8221; are on my playlist for work and travel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another one of my first records.
