PF Sloan

Ace Records have just brought out a new PF Sloan comp, gathering together the bulk of his first two albums and some rare single cuts. Sloan wrote a bunch of tracks for bands like The Turtles, Jan and Dean and The Grass Roots - in fact, he pretty much was The Grass Roots on their first single. He could seemingly turn his hand to anything, from harmony pop to the surfin' sounds of The Fantastic Baggys. His first two albums under his own name are mainly in the folk-rock vein, and while some of it hasn't aged well (I've never particularly cared for 'Eve of Destruction'), there are some great songs...particularly the later single sides, two of which are here.
