Recorded in Hollywood, California in 1966 & 1967. Originally released on Warners (1693). Includes original liner notes by Stan Cornyn.

Digitally remastered by Bob Irwin (Sundazed Studios, Coxsackie, New York).

One of the bands that came to Warner Bros. in their buyout of Autumn Records were the Tikis. They had only recorded a handful of singles, and in terms of musical direction and group identity, they definitely had potential. Enter producer Lenny Waronker and session musician/arranger/songwriter/general musical architect Van Dyke Parks. The two of them brought then-drummer Ted Templeman up to the front as co-lead vocalist, along with Dick Scoppettone, and created a soft-rock identity for the group, renaming them Harpers Bizarre. Their first single was perhaps their greatest shot: a cover of the then-brand new Paul Simon song, "Feelin' Groovy." Buttressed by an amazing Leon Russell arrangement and some great performances from the A-list of L.A. session cats, the song quickly went into the Top Ten. The resulting album is almost as great as the single, with songs by Van Dyke Parks ("Come to the Sunshine"), Randy Newman ("Debutante's Ball"), and others. An excellent and definitive slice of California soft pop. The 2001 CD reissue on Sundazed adds two bonus tracks, both taken from the 1966 "Bye, Bye, Bye"/"Lost My Love Today" single by the Tikis, the San Francisco group that evolved into Harper's Bizarre." ~ Matthew Greenwald

Mojo (Publisher) (3/02, p.120) - "...Whether drawing on folk, country, soul, Roaring Twenties or baroque influences, they liked to put the 'shh!' into kitsch....Hostorically they are fascinating....Their lush vocals and elaborate orchestrations are strangely affecting....highly enjoyable..."

Secret Life Of Harpers Bizarre CD  (1968)

Feelin' Groovy album
CD $12.95  Top 500 Audio Samples
Digitally remastered by Bob Irwin (Sundazed Studios, Coxsackie, New York). Show tunes ("Sit Down, You're Rocking the Boat"), novelty tunes ("Me, Japanese Boy"), songs from cutting-edge tunesmiths (Randy Newman's "Vine Street"), and complex arrangements abound on this 1968 set from the California harmony group that bridged the gap between easy listening and West Coast cool. Including a magical rendition of Yip Harburg's "Look to the Rainbow," a version of Johnny Horton's "Battle of New Orleans" complete with sound effects, and an uptempo version of the Ivy League's "Funny How Love Can Be," SECRET LIFE weaves a richly imagined sound tapestry, subverting easy listening conventions with a fine Sixties disregard for musical propriety. Harpers Bizarre's third album continued their mildly eccentric soft rock direction, remaining as mildly eccentric ever, but growing ever softer. In ...

Feelin' Groovy CD music
CD $11.79  Audio Samples
Recorded in Hollywood, California in 1969. Originally released on Warners (1784). Includes liner notes by John Peterson. Digitally remastered by Bob Irwin (Sundazed Studios, Coxsackie, New York). The final Harpers Bizarre album before the band split in 1969 (they reunited briefly six years later for the album TIME GOES BY) contains more self-penned songs than their previous collections, and fewer of their trademark baroque arrangement flourishes. Highlights include the agreeably loopy "I Love You, Alice B. Toklas," from the movie of the same name, and the beautiful, country-flavored "Cotton Candy Sandman (Sandman's Coming)." This expanded set also includes bonus versions of Harry Nilsson's "Poly High" and the group's take on gospel composer Thomas Dorsey's "If We Ever Needed the Lord Before." Harpers Bizarre bounced back from their worst album, The Secret Life ...

This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W.
