TOP COPY

MINTY CLEAN.... 1965 ORIGINAL ... in stunning stereo...

PHIL SPECTOR WALL OF SOUND PRODUCTION AS DIRECTED AND APPLIED BY SONNY BONO !

Contains the original 1965 Atco inner sleeve!

This is the (then) hipster duo's FIRST album with their breakout smash "I GOT YOU BABE" .... a Collectible COPY...MINTY CLEAN!!

Sonny and Cher had released a handful of previous singles, under both their own names and the pseudonyms Caesar and Cleo, but this is their full length debut album, a curious mix of folk-rock jangle and Spector-influenced infectious poprock. Bono worked under Spector as a go-fer, session musician and staff songwriter, and his admiration for the producer's patented Wall of Sound verges on slavish imitation in spots. It's clearly felt on "Let It Be Me" and a note-for-note cover of the Crystals' "Then He Kissed Me." It's the folk-rock material, like the enormous hit "I Got You Babe," the sweet "Five Hundred Miles," and a terrific version of the Beau Brummels' "Don't Talk To Strangers," that's the most interesting.

Four years before their hippie trappings were co-opted and sanitized by Madison Ave. Sonny & Cher were the stuff of rebellion: real teen rebellion against uptight teachers, twistin' grandmas, hopelessly Donna Reed parents, the entire gamut of squares. Theirs was a quantum leap in the history of teen insolence, overnight transforming a hitherto dark, greasy, James-Dean-dangerous rebellion into a long-haired, bell-bottom, bobcat-vest luv-fest rebellion, with its own musical accompaniment. Sonny & Cher were postwar-America's first rebels without switchblades. Their near-cuddly outrageousness was irresistible. In an era of smashed traditions and questioned authority, Sonny & Cher showed their anti-establishment audience how two people could be married, even married and singing silly love songs to one another, and still be the epitome of cool.

This Lp was the most exciting the pair released. The lp is packed with heart-felt duets. It is a vital hip folk rock sound of the emerging happening teen scene of the sixties. "Look at Us" has genuine sensititvity, and Sonny Bono is at his best, both writing, singing?, and his Spector-homage production. The haunting "Unchained Melody", and the folkie 500 miles are fresh and heart-felt. "Just You " is still a rhapsody for teenagers. The anthem "I Got You Babe" has surely lasted and become an American piece of pop history.

I Got You Babe (3:11) Unchained Melody (3:50) Then He Kissed Me (2:53) Sing C'est La Vie (3:39) It's Gonna Rain (2:21) 500 Miles (3:53) Just You (3:29) The Letter (2:07) Let It Be Me (2:31) You Don't Love Me (2:27) You've Really Got A Hold On Me (2:15) Why Don't They Let Us Fall In Love (2:33)
