Editoral Review But has there ever been another such song that announced that a group's members had come to hate each other and would be breaking up soon? These two CDs are filled with the Mamas and the Papas' distinctive combination of the folk rock of their peers (many of whom also appear in "Creeque Alley": Roger McGuinn and Barry McGuire, and the Lovin' Spoonful's Zally Yanovsky), love for pre-Beatle rock (their beautiful version of the Shirelles' "Dedicated to the One I Love"), and inimitable group vocals. Is there another song like "Creeque Alley"? It's not unique as band autobiography ("The Legend of Paul Revere") nor even in that it was a hit single ("The Ballad of John & Yoko"). --David Wolf ..
