Captain Sad & His Ship of Fools

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1968 album from The Cowsills, the musical family that inspired the Partridge Family. The Cowsills possessed one of the most pleasing vocal blends in all of popular music. Captain Sad And His Ship of Fools, the band's third long player for MGM, would prove to be a semi-conceptual album, which perfectly blended the group's earlier helium-filled soft pop buoyancy with mystical Psych Pop excursions and sunshine pop sensibilities. The thread that tied these elements together was their undeniable vocal dexterity. This brilliant reissue features six bonus tracks, including the non-LP Top 50 single "Poor Baby." the full-color booklet also includes rare, unpublished photos, and extensive liner notes that feature the participation of original band members. Now Sounds. 2009.
