================================================================================

First of all, the rating isn't really about the music - I would think that only someone who owned the original album would be seeking this out (and you know who you are). It is very much a product of its time - late sixties, and a weird mixture of pure pop, psychedelic pop, even some country-pop sound (note the recurring word); a concept album with hardly a strong concept. Well performed, but really a nostalgia thing, and very different from the Boston-psychedelic sound of their first album, "Trilogy For The Masses" (which is, again a period piece, but quite good, with driving organ and guitar, and not pop). But I liked it, and always hoped it would appear on CD - which was extremely unlikely (I doubt it sold more than a few thousand copies).

But on occasion I did see it on CD - and was always disappointed (and ripped off, to be frank). Two versions I got were mastered from well-used (and abused) vinyl, and a version sold here on Amazon as a "made on demand" version that uses the label "Soundtrack Classics" turned out to be essentially a bootleg-level mastering, with gaps between the songs (which are supposed to run seamlessly together on each "side"), and some of the songs did a quick fade-up out of the silence, so it wasn't a TAO vs DAO issue; there were short sections essentially missing. I did a frequency analysis and while there was at least no mp3 "cliff", there was obvious massive noise reduction, far beyond what one would need even for a master of that era. Was it taken from a cassette? 8-track? In any case, it was, as I said, more like a bootleg.

But the version that is under the "Flawed Gems" label is the real deal! The Marketplace seller I bought it from, Rockbone, had only the one copy, but I see that, as of this writing, at least one other Marketplace seller has the Flawed Gems version. The mastering is perfect, and is full-spectrum. If you are looking for this album on CD, the Flawed Gems production is the one to get. So while the album is not a five-star album - probably a 3 at best, and an odd, period-based 3 at that - for those who want it, the "rating" of the music is irrelevant - it is the quality of the CD mastering that I think would count, and that gets a 5.
