Product Review

2008 release, the first-ever complete collection of the trio's records. The Parade were Murray MacLeod (also a member of the Roger Nichols Trio/Small Circle of Friends), Jerry Riopelle (Phil Spector prot©g© and former Philles staff producer), and Smokey Roberds (songwriter and actor). Originally signed to A&M Records, the Parade not only created a definitively West Coast Pop sound but also unknowingly helped establish the Sunshine Pop genre via their 1967 Billboard Top 20 hit, 'Sunshine Girl'. The gorgeous 16 page full-color booklet also includes rare, previously unpublished photos and comprehensive liner notes that feature the participation of all original band members. Now Sounds.
