Legacy Recordings

No one chronicled those hazy crazy West Coast 60’s days as wistfully, or as affectionately, as John Phillips. He looked through his window, or simply gazed over at his wife Michelle, saw a new generation and a new migration, and appointed himself its spokesman. For The Mamas & The Papas he captured the promises and realities of the spiritual-geographical movement. San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Some Flowers In Your Hair) was all promise, little reality: a travel poster, complete with packing tips, and a Day-Glo view of San Francisco from a Los Angeles recording studio.
