Cass Elliot once said,
"It was a long time coming, but tell me what things in
life aren't worth waiting for." She could have
been speaking about the new anthology of her music being
put out by Universal - The Complete Cass Elliot Solo
Collection, 1968-1971.
Chronicling the first
half of her solo career, this compendium includes all of
her heretofore released album and single recordings as a
solo artist from 1968-1971 as well as hitherto
unreleased tracks. This 2 disc set is accompanied
by a full color booklet as well as a special message
from Cass' daughter, Owen Elliot-Kugell.
Released on August 1, 2005, exclusively from Hip-O Select. |

The
soundtrack to the film version of Sid & Marty Kroffts
gigantic children's TV hit 'HR Pufnstuf'-the program that
introduced psychedelia into the diet of English and American
children in the late 60s/ early 70s. It starred of course,
the most famous English boy actor of all, Jack Wild
(straight from the highly-acclaimed Artful Dodger in Lionel
Bart's 1968 film musical smash 'Oliver!'), alongside the
great Cass Elliot from the Mamas And The Papas (whose film
debut this was), So a unique anglo-american appeal. The
soundtrack written by Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel ('Barbarella'
'Happy Days' 'Laverne & Shirley) is a remarkable amalgam of
bugglegum, psychedelic instrumentation and joyful knockabout
songs including ‘Zap The World’ and the fine Cass solo
number ‘Different’ which is exclusive to this record.
Pufnstuf is full of great, clever, funny songs sung by Jack
Wild, Cass Elliot, Witchiepoo and the cast. |

trippy mod-fantasy Pufnstuf which has reached cult status. In this feature
film, she performed the outstanding song DIFFERENT in a decade-too-early
music video. For the first time, this long awaited film is available: |
