THE ASSOCIATION

Just The Right Sound: The Association Anthology

$18.86 CD

The Association turned the pop world on its ear with spine-tingling harmonies, a big California folk-pop sound, and top-notch original material. Founded in 1965 by Russ Giguere, Jules Gary Alexander, Ted Bluechel, Terry Kirkman, Jim Yester, and Brian Cole, the band broke into the national spotlight in 1966 with “Along Comes Mary” and “Cherish.” The follow-up album was a hit later that year, prompting Warner Bros. to sign them and release their third album, 1967’s Insight Out, which featured another #1 hit in “Windy.”   

Though The Association’s glory days were the late ’60s and early ’70s, they continued to record and perform sporadically throughout the ’80s. Back on the scene during the ’90s, a revamped band once again hit the road for the benefit of its worldwide legion of fans.  

Just The Right Sound: The Association Anthology is the definitive collection of hits, album tracks, and rarities. It features 51 tracks (33 on CD for the first time!) on two CDs, including the previously unreleased “The Machine” and “Better Times,” plus hard-to-find single mixes of their greatest hits. Booklet includes liner notes, rare photos, and track notes from the band members.
