Apparently The Happenings weren't responsible for the hit tune "The Happening." Who knew?

I have this earlier best of twofer from Wounded Bird. Bare bones, but it does include almost all of their charting singles. And I see prices for used copies start at ~$50.

Their final chart hit, a medley of the Hair songs "Where Do I Go/Be-In/Hare Krishna," was released on a different label. If Varese made a deal to include it on this new comp, I'm in. (Actually, I'm in regardless.)

it is remarkable to me that ALL OOP wounded bird titles command big bucks on the used market. i have never found one that did not.

or all criticism wounded bird gets about their bare-bones approach, their stuff sure is wanted by the collectors.

i'm still mega-pissed that i didn't buy all the seals & crofts when they put them out. :sigh:
