    This is the expanded edition, tracks 13 onward were not on the LP. If you have never heard The Owl, well now you can and get some idea of where they were headed before splitting up. The thing about this album is that it doesn't have the just below the surface sarcasm that they were well known for, but instead features some inspired songwriting, excellent production and some of the best vocal arrangements you'll ever hear on a Turtles release. The Turtles were underappreciated musicians, too, by the way. This record showcases just how amazingly good they really were. Some of their best non-hits that should have been hits are found here: House on the Hill, Somewhere Friday Night and Love in the City deserve to be played loudly and many times over, the latter song ranking right up there with She's My Girl and Do You Know What I Mean as the zenith of Turtles' pop/rock brilliance. Buy it and love it, for crying out loud!

    OK, the weak tunes are there, but there are at least a few shoulda-been hits (Love in the City, Somewhere Friday Night, You Don't Have to Walk in the Rain) and a lot of catchy choruses (which you can't necessarily hear in the iTunes samples): House on the Hill, The Last Thing I Remember, She Always Leaves Me Laughing, Torn Between Temptation). And How You Loved Me sounds a LOT like a late 60s Kinks track. Maybe only worth 3 1/2 stars, but as I have to choose I give it 4.

    You can really hear Ray Davies imprint on this album. My fave is track 10 "Somewhere Friday Night". Give a listen.

    Usually the Turtles do well, but this album has kinda boring songs. I wouldn't suggest buying this album. However "You Don't Have To Walk In The Rain" is an ok song. check it out.
