An apple a day
Released late sixties, early seventies, this album was financed by the Apple Industry to promote...apples. Yes apples, red, green, and gold, bathed in sunshine and so delicious.
The Washington Apples (if they ever existed outside of the studio) seem to be made up of Paific Northwest players and surprisingly there's probably six or seven total keeper tracks on here, incredible batting average considering the imposed subject matter (though they seem to lose that plot on side two). Female vocals and full band backing, some groovy organ throb and horns, a couple of tracks have some ripping guitar solos and all in all a real nice, breezy lite-psych album, the title track of which was always a favorite for cuts tapes.
The last one traded hands a couple years ago for $105
