Like half of these are stone classics of the era.

took a tour through spirit producer erik jacobsen's credits. lots of lovin' spoonful, tim hardin, etc., early on. but then he went on to produce peak-era chris isaak. cool.

Erik Jacobsen is such an underrated producer; I love his work with all three of those acts. Had no idea he produced Norman Greenbaum.
I'll probably vote "Reflections" from this installment. "Hitchin' a Ride" gets earworm points but those recorder licks grate at my ears. I do like Vanity Fare's single from a year earlier "Early in the Morning" though.

Edison Lighthouse will not be going into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Winning this poll will be as good as it ever gets for them (short of unforgettable use in a movie or TV show, which I don't think has happened yet--I had it pegged as a possible last Mad Men song).

Zero vote for 'Lay a Little Lovin' on Me' is just unconscionable.

(xposts) "the real thing"--multi-layered reference.

There used to be this thing called The Folk Mass, iirc.

Yeah, it's been my favorite kinda-sorta discovery* of these so far. The whole Jeff Barry-Steed Records interzone (familiar to me only through it, The Monkees Changes lp, and the long in the vault final Atlantic Dusty Springfield sessions) is a subject for further research methinks.
*I man or may not have heard it on Dick Bartley back in the day.

One more thing: "My Baby Loves Lovin'" is a Supreme Earworm. Had it in my head multiple times a day since this thread opened.

Almost voted for that but didn’t want to dilute the Tony B vote.

And yeah, the annoying recorder made me not vote for the one I liked the most when it came out.
