The Association "Like Always" No lead vocal 1968

I liked the sound of this without the lead vocal, so I've thrown it up.

@pinkney1221

I've seen almost everything they have done and I don't think this song exists live...

Interesting...how did you do this or find this?  I kind of like it.

I was just playing around with my "ion" turntable transfer unit and with the way a lot of records were recorded in the 60's, this magically occured...I actually liked it a lot and may try it with some other songs.

Turntable transfer to Computer and some of the old Mono records only come through on one channel during the transfer.

sounds good even without a lead singer ...... mellow ..... miss those days ...... long gone, forever!

@BobbyColePopMusic thats such a shame...this is one of my top 5 favorite songs of all times...it rivals beach boys " feel flows"

For my money, this is far and away the Association's masterpiece. Interestingly enough, it holds up quite well without Larry Ramos' highly dramatic lead vocal.

My favorite harmony group...
