ABOUT THE RECORD The Mamas & the Papas, by folk rock vocal group of the same name, peaked at No. 4 on the US Billboard 200 album chart and No. 24 in the UK. The lead off single, I Saw Her Again, reached No. 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 11 in the UK Singles Chart. Words of Love was released as the second single in the US peaking at No. 5. In the UK, it was released as a double A-side with Dancing in the Street (a cover of the 1964 hit by Martha and the Vandellas) and charted at No. 47 in the UK. After it was discovered that group member Michelle Phillips was having an affair with Gene Clark of the Byrds, tension in the band erupted and Phillips was fired from the group on June 4, 1966. In June, a new singer was hired to replace her. Jill Gibson was producer Lou Adler's girlfriend at the time and was already a singer/songwriter who had performed on several Jan and Dean albums. The photo already chosen for the album's cover featured Michelle Phillips prominently, so Dunhill had Gibson take a photo posed in exactly the same position as Michelle, and then superimposed the new photo over that of Phillips. However, the decision was then made to shoot an entirely new picture with the new line-up, and to also change the album's title to Crashon Screamon All Fall Down. Several thousand advance pressings of the album with this cover and title were sent out to radio stations and record distributors, but with the return of Michelle to the group just prior to the LP's general release, the original cover and eponymous title were quickly reinstated. Copies of the rare Crashon pressings are now highly sought after collectors items.
