Where Were You When I Needed You album Product Description

Before the Grass Roots reached the peak of their pop/rock popularity, they were a much more folk-rock-oriented outfit. Indeed, this debut album is a matter of much confusion; apparently the original Grass Roots were pretty much a front for the songwriting team of P.F. Sloan and Steve Barri, who ended up performing on much of the album themselves. In any case, this is decent, though not top-of-the-line, early folk-rock, falling about halfway between the Byrds and more pop-oriented peers like the Turtles and the Mamas & the Papas. Highlights include the hit title track and other Sloan-Barri originals like "Lollipop Train," "Look Out Girl," "This Is What I Was Made For," and "You Baby," which was a hit for the Turtles. ~ Richie Unterberger Repressing.2008 digitally remastered and expanded edition of the debut album from The Grass Roots, one of California's most popular acts of the late `60s and early `70s, including eight bonus tracks. Originally released in 1966, this album contains the original classic hit single "Where Were When I Needed You" and the blinding Garage Punk reworking of Dylan's "Ballad Of A Thin Man". ...See Full Description

Improved over 1994 reissue
Excellent reissue .The sound is great and the fold out booklet is informative.Has one more track than the 1994 reissue,a third version of Where were you when I needed you.Some of the cover tunes are weak but most of the material is good.

Original grass Root Members
This CD is an exellent reprentation of the original members and thier music. Mr. Jones gave Dylan a run for his money and Where Were you When I Needed You was the first real hit for the Grass Roots. The original members, pictured on the cover, left Dunhill Records in a dispute. Good CD with historical content.
