Product Description
A reunion project, PEOPLE LIKE US was the final collaborative effort of THE MAMAS & THE PAPAS, a group that had defined a generation.

Like an out-of-focus, last-taken photograph of a deceased loved one, People Like Us has remained an important part of The Mamas and The Papas catalogue, but has miraculously been out of print on CD for many years—UNTIL NOW!

Included here are NINE bonus tracks, including the single version of John Phillips’ Billboard #32 solo hit, ‘Mississippi.’ All from the original master tapes!

The 16-page, full-colour booklet includes rare photos, and extensive liner notes penned by Richard Barton Campbell, featuring exclusive quotes from original band members.

1. People Like Us
2. Pacific Coast Highway
3. Snowqueen Of Texas
4. Shooting Star
5. Step Out
6. Lady Genevieve
7. No Dough
8. European Blueboy
9. Pearl
10. I Wanna Be A Star
11. Grasshopper
12. Blueberries For Breakfast

Bonus Tracks:
13. Andy’s Talkin’ Blues
14. My And My Uncle
15. Cup Of Tea
16. Revolution On Vacation
17. April Anne
18. Mississippi (Single Version)
19. Fantastic Four
20. Honeymoon

I don't know why they say it's been out of print on CD for years when it's on the Complete Anthology box set which is still in print.

I'm sure they meant as a stand alone entity, not part of a compilation.
I've always loved this contractually-obligated gem. The 70's Mamas couldn't sound any different from their 60's incarnation. Harmonies are still very much intact, but with even heavier empahsis on the Canyon.

Does the title refer to people who are like them or that people like them?

Most likely an intentional play on words to elicit this very question.

Their plot worked -- we're still wondering about it 40 years later.

It makes me think of the Talking Heads song that John Goodman sang in True Stories.
