The Rascals - Once Upon A Dream (1968)

The Rascals - Once Upon A Dream (1968)  
  Even the Rascals were influenced by Sgt Peppers.............

  In 1967 The Rascals set out to record their epic progressive rock suite......
  
   With the frequent use of sparse instrumenal, spoken passages and sound effects to link and introduce tracks the Rascals recorded a real stunning album with a high degree of eclecticism in both style and arrangement.    This album has a little bit of everything in it........harmonica....humour, sunshine power pop, symphonia, vocal harmonies and dont forget a heavy dose of psych - vanilla extract to be exact !.

This is an album that you will never stop listening to for the rest of your life !
