Truly unusual approach for ANY time period in music history - and thereby, classic. Picturesque lyrics, excellent instrumentals and evocative singing. The sum total defines what the Left Banke is all about, and why they are so revered - The uniqueness comes through even more so today.
Got one of those inexplicable cravings to hear this a few moments ago, and wallah! Takes me back to a great time and a favorite group. And yes, Love and Forever Changes" is another favorite. Now, I have to go back and check out Prefab Sprout...
besides the Baroque Pop of Walk away Renee and Pretty Balerina, there was this one, on par with and making that, a trio of great hits for this old SF band (it says NY but not, and i should know) named after the sand Dunes of Paris....

I heard the cover of this by the Rockin' Berries on Sounds Of The Sixties - this is much better.

The album is magical. Has an emotional impact similar to Love's "Forever Changes" and Prefab Sprout's "Steve McQueen" (for me, at least).
