Product Description
Amazon.co.jp
ラヴィン・スプーンフルといえば、ウエストコースト・サウンドの脚注的な扱いを受けるバンドであり、音楽史から追い出されてしまった感すらある。しかし「Daydream」や「Summer In The City」に並ぶ堂々たるヒットは同年代に少ないし、今も1月を6月にできる（「君のソウルを自由に放つ魔法のことを話したい／だけどそれは知らない人にロックンロールを説明するようなものなんだ」）「Do You Believe In Magic?（魔法を信じるかい？）」に匹敵するような大ヒットは、歴史上そうあるものではない。ラヴィン・スプーンフルには、そろってモンキーズのオーディションを受けたという伝説がある。あの甘いサウンドと、温かいユーモアを明らかに備えた彼らなら、うまくやれただろう。だが、それは続かなかったに違いない。ソングライターでリーダーのジョン・セバスチャンは、意思と個性が強すぎる。ヒッピージェネレーションが将来親になったときのジレンマに思いをはせた「Younger Generation」のような曲での彼は、まるでアメリカのレイ・デイヴィスだ。『The Lovin' Spoonful - Greatest Hits』は、ずっと過小評価されてきたこの素晴らしいバンドを知る手始めに、最適な1枚だ。（Taylor Parkes, Amazon.co.uk）
From Amazon.co.uk
It almost feels as though The Lovin' Spoonful have been edged out of history, sidelined as a whimsical footnote to the West Coast Sound. Yet few of their contemporaries matched such huge, magnificent hits as "Daydream" or "Summer In The City", and few in history have matched the transcendent "Do You Believe In Magic?", a record that can still turn January into June ("I'd tell you about the magic that can free your soul/But it's like trying to tell a stranger about rock'n'roll..."). Legend has it that The Spoonful auditioned en masse for The Monkees. They'd have been good at it, having the right candy-sweet sound and a warm good humour always in evidence. But it wouldn't have lasted: lead songwriter John Sebastian was too wilful and idiosyncratic, the closest thing to an American Ray Davies on songs like "Younger Generation", a prescient meditation on the hippy generation's future parental dilemmas. Greatest Hits is a fine introduction to this great and perennially underrated band. --Taylor Parkes
