Capitol turned itself into a real factory of poised sunshine pop during the mid-late 60s, and these scraps from the candy-colored & choir-covered cutting room floor make for fascinating insights into songwriting and production techniques alike. Obscure Brill Building writers, productions by David Axelrod, Leon Russell & Artie Kornfeld (Cowsills), the 1st single by Chris Ducey from Penny Arkade/Maitraya Kali, as well as a solo outing by the singer of the Knickerbockers. Some bands are incorporating folk into a Hollywood-friendly entertainment machine, some are garage hopefuls just trying to get to the charts, while others are vocal groups trying to follow in the footsteps of the Beach Boys.
