Million Sellers - The Today People - Grazin' In The Grass

Grazin' In The Grass
More Million Sellers
The Today People
Vocalion VL 73883
1969

Covers, but the set doesn't strive to be exact copies of the originals. They are expertly done and nicely engineered. There is a cover of "My Way" on the LP. That song that is almost always butchered as a cover but this one sounds pretty good.

Even a cover of The Beatles, Get Back, is catchy. Above is a dreamy cover of Grazin' In The Grass composed by Philemon Hou and first recorded by Hugh Masekela, released in 1968 and reached the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The only mention I can find on the web concerning this album is a listing in September 1969 issue of Billboard.

Apparently the recording was made in England by Shaftesbury Production.
