A Midsummer's Day Dream
MARK ERIC MALMBORG (along with arranger and ex-Animal VIC BRIGGS) constructed this beautiful album, a unique pastiche of Four Freshman/Beach Boys sensibilities coupled with wistful melancholia. Defiantly soft, 1969s A Midsummers Day Dream caught the tail end of Los Angeles 60s pop innocence perfectly, just as it slipped into infinity. 2002s CD reissue of A Midsummers Day Dream (itself now out of print) caught the soft pop collectors world entirely off guard: Very few were aware of the LPs existence, and the reaction was united: A masterpiece was unleashed and a new generation of daydreamers was born! The result was glowing reviews in MOJO and UNCUT, a Japanese edition, as well as soaring prices for the original long out-of-print vinyl pressing. This EXPANDED EDITION of the stone classic is supplemented by 16 bonus tracks recorded around the same time as the LP.
