Brush your teeth after listening!

"This CD is almost identical to an old vinyl collection called "The Best of Buddha" (Buddha being the label that originally released these songs) that I owned when I was just a little guy. The last track wasn't on it, but it had a rather eerie song by Melanie (who also sang "Brand New Key") called "Momma Momma" where she kind of shrieked and wailed and basically scared me. So I always skipped that track. But in any case, this is definitely one that is recommended only for nostalgia purposes, unless you have a strong appetite for kitsch. But it does a pretty super service to those of us who have these songs embedded in the folds of our brain and want to reawaken some long forgotten childhood memories!"

"wow--i never thought i'd find all these oldies on one cd--all originals, and what a great price! i had all these tunes--except that last one--on old scratchy albums, that were distributed by K-TEL in canada back in the late sixties....the only 1910 fruitgum co. tune that's missing is INDIAN GIVER, i think... for some strange reason, i've felt compelled recently to try to collect all those old tunes on cd, and with this purchase, i knocked quite a few off my list...these definitely are GROOVY tunes... i won't use my real name--i'm 42 and i'm buying bubblegum music! and....LOVING IT!"

"This release brought back many memories, the first time that I had kissed my girlfriend and then afew months later asked her to marry me! She said yes, and we made plans until she died in car accident. I still wonder about The ohio Express, and just recently heard they are still performing all over the world..and still doing those great songs that they had made so popular! Whatever happened to those days from long ago, 31 years ago they were just heard and now years later they are still as great as ever on this great cd...This is one for any true bubblegum music lover's collection! Let's all get together, and sit back and really enjoy these great songs and hope to relive the material when The Ohio Express is performing live near us to enjoy inperson once again..WOW A GREAT PRODUCT, YOU MUST GET IT AND HAVE A PARTY!!"
