Mamas & Papas - 16 of their Greatest Hits (1970)(1998)
Husband and wife team John and Michelle Phillips formed the The Mamas & the Papas with Denny Doherty after the band they were in, The New Journeymen, split. Denny's pal Cass Elliot, who had sung with Doherty in The Mugwumps, joined them and together they decamped to the Virgin Isles. While there, John wrote many of the songs which would find their way to vinyl. Eventually, they returned to California and after initial trepidation, Cass joined the group officially. They signed with Lou Adler and recorded "California Dreamin'" which became a huge hit in 1965. If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears was released in 1966, and "Monday, Monday" became their first and only chart-topper. Around this time Michelle and Denny revealed that they had been having an affair and John fired her, furious at her infidelity. Jill Gibson, a girlfriend of their manager, took her place in 1966, learning all of Michelle's parts and replacing her on the album artwork for the second album The Mamas & the Papas. However, Michelle returned to the group towards the end of recording and two of the tracks featured her voice instead. "I Saw Her Again" and "Words of Love" were both Top 5 hits for the group. Their successful third album Deliver was released in 1967, but the atmosphere in the band was poor, an ongoing result of the affair. Efforts to record a fourth full-length were hampered by the continuing tension. Cass actually quit the band before a record could be finished. However they were contractually obliged to release a fourth album and so, after a greatest hits compilation filled the gap, The Papas & the Mamas (1968) was released, to which Cass made her usual contribution. The band split in 1968, after which Cass went on to a have successful solo career. However, the record company decided that they were, as a band, actually contracted to produce a fifth album. As a result they regrouped briefly and recorded People Like Us which was released in 1971 and proved to be the least successful of all their albums.
