Begin is the only album ever released by the collective known as The Millennium during its lifetime (though there have been several compilations since the group's demise).
Begin has gained notoriety throughout the years as being the most expensive album that Columbia Records had released by that time, though critics generally agree that the money was well spent. It is now generally considered to be a classic of sunshine pop.
Begin has been reissued numerous times throughout the years, despite the extremely poor sales of the original release, and has been reissued in three different configurations on CD. The 1990 reissue featured truncated cover art, but included brief interviews with several band members in the liner notes and both sides of a rare promotional single, "Just About The Same" b/w "Blight". A later reissue featured the single versions of several tracks from the album. The most recent reissue of the album is as the third CD in the three-disc set Magic Time, released by Sundazed Records in 2001. It features all of the bonus tracks from the two previous versions, but "Just About The Same" and "Blight" are presented in mono, whereas they were presented in their original stereo mixes on the 1990 release.

Great song I Love these guys.... another fantastic version of this song was recorded by Denny Doherty (formally of The Mamas & The Papas) for a concept LP called California 99. which was put together by Jimmie Haskell.... check it out if you can find it.....
Millenium's BEGIN is such a freakin' gem. Incredible psychedelic/sunshine pop, rivaling that of Brian Wilson. An added bonus is the obscurity of the band; I was able to listen and enjoy and form my own opinions about this masterpiece without the burden of pop culture saturation, one thing that takes away from the music of mega-popular bands like, say, the Beatles.
well done sir. this song has been in my life for a bit now. prelude, as you know, makes it incredible. play this to every loved woman as they lay on the grass this summer. love and mercy to all
