Synopsis

Album Description
From Sundazed Music, 1966 was a good year for the Cyrkle in rapid succession, they inked a contract with Columbia Records, scored a #2 hit with Paul Simon's 'Red Rubber Ball', gained a coveted spot on the Beatles' final U.S. tour, and recorded Red Rubber Ball and Neon, two longplayers with some of the most soaring three-part harmonies and intricate arrangements that '60s pop music had to offer. Each original album now comes with a veritable plethora of bonus tracks, including rare singles, alternate versions, and previously unissued outtakes, interviews with the Cyrkle, and tons of great unseen photos from their archives!
 

CD Reviews

Neon - A personal view
Gregory Swiderski | ROLLING MEADOWS, ILLINOIS United States | 01/01/2002
(4 out of 5 stars)

"There are some excellent cuts on this album as well as a few clunkers. During that time of the 60's many a band tried some sort of novelty and the Cyrkle was no exception. Problem Child and Weight of Your Words come to mind.
However there was some beauty. Michael Losekamp singing The Visit (She Was Here) is a great track. Maybe it should have been a release. I Wish You Could Be Here, In my opinion just never received the air time it should have. It is a beautiful song and Don Dannemans voice made a good song better.
Terry's Theme and Camaro give the album some good balance.
Don't Cry No Fears, No Tears Coming Your Way, might have been a top twenty song had it been released.
All in all it is a good album and a die hard Cyrkle fan would want this for their collection."
Worth it for Two Rooms

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The Cyrkle had some great songs, but none better than the very short "Two Rooms." This song has terrific lyrics, an interesting musical arrangement and a great tune, with a unique tone colour.The album, Red Rubber Ball had several good songs, especially the title track and [on the Best Hits album of that name] We Had a Good Thing Goin'. This Neil Sedaka-Howard Greenfield composition was originally a single with Two Rooms on the reverse side.What memories, what memories!"
