The Mamas & the Papas - Mansions (1968)
I’ve been reading All the Leaves Are Brown, the story of the rise and fall of the Mamas & the Papas. I’m not the biggest fan, but the book has been enjoyable - lots of stuff about the recordings, mixed in with all the interpersonal drama. This is one of the better tunes on their 4th LP, recorded as they were falling to pieces. It’s a classic “pity poor me, living in a exclusive Bel Air, but I’m still not happy”. Nonetheless, John Phillips talent with vocal arrangements shines through.
Limousines and laughter,
Parties ever after.
If you play the game, you pay the price
