PERFECT 1967 Original FIRST PRESS ...NEVER OPENED:
.........STILL FACTORY SEALED ............
The title track to the Tommy James & the Shondells album Gettin' Together -- resplendent in its Spencer Davis Group sound, reached the Top 20 in September of 1967, the fourth chart song for the group that year. They follow up on "It's Only Love," with a bit more maturity to, not to mention riffs culled from the Top 40 of 1966 and 1967 radio rendering the album with plenty of merit. Elsewhere there's a very '60s-sounding "There's So Much Love All Around Me" and the pretty "Real Girl" which also fits in very well with its surroundings. Another album highlight is the interesting "Sometimes I'm Up, (Sometimes I'm Down)" and "Wish It Were You." The duo's "You Better Watch Out" lifts liberally from the Yardbirds' summer of 1966 hit "Over, Under, Sideways, Down" and gives a hint as to where the band was heading creatively -- not to mention which groups were truly influencing the Shondells' music. Despite the quintet's growth, this album and that which followed, Mony Mony, were teen-oriented crafted & catchy pop-rock. "Some Happy Day" has the experimentation started by "Mirage" and is one of the more clever pieces. "Love's Closin' in on Me" is an up-tempo and fun excursion. A little over a year later, James and the boys would write, arrange, and produce the classic "Crimson & Clover" 45 rpm and long-player with only one outside song, "Do Something to Me." The creative sparks on Gettin' Together are a good study in the evolution of a pop star as well as a unique look at '60s record production. It's a quite listenable LP and overall important piece to the Shondells' puzzle.
