Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
It sometimes feels as though the Lovin' Spoonful have been reduced to a footnote in the history of rock & roll. Yet few of their contemporaries could match the likes of "Daydream," "Summer in the City," and the transcendent "Do You Believe in Magic?"--a song that can still turn January into June. Legend has it that the Spoonful auditioned for The Monkees, and they'd have been good in those roles, having the right candy-sweet sound and a warm humor in constant evidence. But it wouldn't have lasted: lead songwriter John Sebastian was too willful and idiosyncratic, coming on like an American Ray Davies on songs such as "Younger Generation," a prescient meditation on the hippie generation's future parental dilemmas. Greatest Hits is a fine 26-song introduction to a perennially underrated band. --Taylor Parkes

Do not buy this disk. It is NOT a CD, it does not meet the standards for audio CDs and th CD icon is notably absent on the cover. The DRM used causes skipping making the music unlistenable.
Amazon should pull this disk from its inventory

Lovin' Spoonful deserves a full Box set of all recorded LPs.
Any single CD complilation skips favorites and shakes out hits like a turned-over salt/pepper combo on a buffet platter.
John Sebastian wrote classic songs, was as important to his time as
Irving Berlin or Cole Porter to their era.
The humor, the rhyme, the ache of the times!

The Lovin' Spoonful - Greatest Hits has quite a bit of their very best on a single CD compilation album. The sounds of The Lovin' Spoonful were distinct and very good to hear; and this album proves it! The quality of the sound is quite good and the artwork is very nicely done as well.
"Do You Believe In Magic?" starts the album with a fine hit from The Lovin' Spoonful; their sound is great! The electric guitar work makes this so good and they sing and harmonize to perfection! "Do You ... Read More

Get this CD for all the timeless tunes & great songs of THE LOVIN' SPOONFUL. Surely, they are one of the greatest groups ever . This CD is just packed with every hit you'd ever want from them. It's a very generous amount of songs, and the liner notes & photos truly add to the best of the best of the Spoonful.

More filler songs than actual HITS (about three). I did not realize they had so few biggies if the CD is the factual record of their "Greatest Hits".
The filler songs were never really played in USA and for good reason they are not worthy of Billboard ratings. I have these few HITS on Time-Life CD's, this is a CD I should have passed up. This CD is only for the die-hard Lovin Spoonful fans.
