In the late 1970's, MCA Records famously chucked hundreds of single master tapes of their recently-acquired Dunhill Records catalog in the dumpster because they were running out of room. While this certainly sounds like a heinous crime today, keep in mind that very few people saw the advent of the compact disc coming, and the need to take things from tape sources. As a result, very few artists from the Dunhill label have ever had their mono, hit single versions put on CD. We're talking Steppenwolf, Mamas & Papas, and the Grass Roots, just to name a few.

Well, hallelujah for Real Gone Music, who spent years tracking down the "best sources possible," scouring vaults from all over the world to bring us The Grass Roots - The Complete Dunhill/ABC Hit Singles. Finally, these far-superior, punchy mono mixes can be heard. These are the original versions that were played on the radio in the late Sixties and early Seventies.

The Complete Dunhill/ABC Hit Singles collects the Grass Roots the way they were meant to be heard, in the mono, radio versions.
