This New Jersey quintet's second album, Touch n' Go With the Critters, was the group's first outing for arranger/conductor Enoch Light's Project 3 label, which was devoted to using cutting-edge "enhanced stereo" technology, the best available. By now, only the group's de facto leader, guitarist Jim Ryan (a founding Critter, he had been in the high school band called the Vibratones with Don Ciccone, who sang the lead vocals on the band's impressive hit "Mr. Dyingly Sad"), and bassist Kenneth Gorka remained in the lineup from the band's earlier Kapp period. Nevertheless, the performances as evidenced here are still first-rate, and the amazing stereo production and songwriting are among the best of the group's career. The title song, "Touch N' Go," was written by Alan Gordon and Gary Bonner, the great songwriting team who had been members of the New York-based group the Magicians a few years earlier; they also wrote the Turtles' "Happy Together" and "She'd Rather Be With Me," among others. The "Touch N' Go" track and a handful others, including the Tim Hardin cover "Reason to Believe," were produced by Charles Koppelman and Don Rubin, who also managed the Critters. The remaining tracks were produced by Ryan. There's a nice version of the Lovin' Spoonful's "Younger Generation" (John Sebastian's "Younger Girl"had provided a huge hit already, so why not see if lightning strikes twice?). The Critters were subsequently featured on Light's "Popular Science" series of stereo/quad test LPs, and recorded another album for the label, but hits continued to elude the group thereafter. Ryan later worked with Carly Simon, while Spinella went on to join Steeplechase. Gorka later became the manager of Bitter End in New York City. Darway became inventor in residence at Princeton University. This album is often considered one of the top harmony pop LPs of all time, an East Coast classic highly treasured by collectors.

·       CONDITION:

·       RECORD

 (IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS NEAR MINT. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

(d)          Mono copies of this album are NOT known to exist.
