From forgotten, dusty closets and disorganized publishing vaults comes a Rev-Ola classic - Mike "Harvey" Price and Dan Walsh - two hard working Los Angeles-based songwriters - not only had it in them to pen one of the GRASS ROOTS finest moments ('Temptation Eyes'), they also cut dozens of other gems. The finest cuts are collected here in this first-ever Price & Walsh compendium. The two men explore many avenues here: bubblegum/soft pop/psych/rock and beautiful balladry; unknowingly concocting a masterwork that will intrigue fans of said genres for many years to come. Includes a brilliant, previously-unearthed demo of 'Temptation Eyes' that was the blueprint for the Grass Roots hit version. Also includes several previously unheard sides that were originally intended to be part of a never-released GARY ZEKLEY produced 1968 LP. This unfinished album was to be LA's answer to "Sgt. Peppers'", and features classic mind-blowing LA studio wizardry. First time EVER collection of Price And Walsh - All sides NEVER BEFORE ON CD Most tracks never before available on vinyl either! Lovingly re-mastered in the classic RevOla style and beautifully packaged with comprehensive liner notes in full inimitable Rev-Ola splendor. Includes exclusive track-by-track annotation from Price & Walsh themselves and rare previously-unpublished photos! A must for all fans of the West Coast Sound, of The Grass Roots... of Gary Zekley productions and so much more...
