This is the first (and best-known) of three albums Mel recorded in the late '60s-early '70s in which he used his distinctive style to effect on pop-rock tunes. While some may consider this a musical anomoly concocted by the devil, anyone with even an ounce of grooviosity will not be able to resist... we guarantee it.

Unfortunately, it appears that this re-issue is no longer in print, and it's becoming increasingly rare to run across a copy. We suggest you get it as quickly as possible, before it vaporizes back into the ether.

Let it be said that this re-issue includes a number of additional tracks (none of which really compares in the absurdity factor with the cuts on the original):

Comin' Home Baby
Homeward Bound
My Little Red Book
Walk On By
If I Had A Hammer
Strangers In The Night
Better Use Your Head
Time
Secret Agent Man
Pretty Flamingo
Red Rubber Ball
All That Jazz
You Don't Have To Say You Love Me
Domique's Discotheque
The Power Of Love
Lover's Roulette
Ciao Baby
Molly Marlene
The King
Lima Lady

Personally, we'd have preferred if the added cuts were from Mel's other two pop-rock albums, but unfortunately, Right Now! was recorded under Columbia the the other two (Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head and A Time For Us) were from Capitol... and how could anyone expect them to co-operate to release the ultimate Mel sings the '60s CD?

Well, suffice it to say that the cuts from the Capitol albums are, more or less, unavailable. We say more or less, because some of the cuts do appear on the label's "Ultra-Lounge" series (do check out Ultra-Lounge: On the Rocks, Parts 1 and 2). These compilations include many of the more outrageous covers of '60s pop-rock in the Capitol catalog (including two cuts from Julie London's Yummy, Yummy, Yummy, Peggy Lee's "Hard Day's Night" and "Everyday People", and Mel's "Happy Together", "Games People Play" and "Sunshine Superman"). PLUS... hits (!) from Lord Sitar, The Lettermen, Martin Denny and more.
