I know every song on it by heart, and sing them loudly while doing my housework. And don’t even get me started on the sound quality of these tapes manufactured by MAGTEC in Hollywood during the late 60’s/ early seventies I’d put it up against any CD on the market today. It’s pure sonic ear candy. (with thanks to AWMOK member Douglas Wood for his inspiring post earlier today)

I love Sonny and Cher, wrote for Cher and was also great friends with her in the 80’s. S&C can do no wrong, especially in the period this LP was done.

Great post!!!.. I LOOOOVE Sonny & Cher…and I’m crazy nuts about the LP cover and Cher’s caftan!
Allee, I googled… “Young and Pretty”….Fabulous!!..

Excellent!

What a great album cover! And the back photo is cool too. I wouldn’t be surprised if the settings weren’t art directed but actually Sonny and Cher’s actual digs at that point in time. Ted– how is their cover of “I Can See Clearly Now?” (My fave is still Holly Cole’s).
Ted Nimmo
The photos were definitely Shot at the house on Carolwood Drive. http://www.danshollywoodtours.com/ht%20celebrity%20real%20estate%20page%2000.htmlsadly the guy that bought the house also bought the Jane Mansfield house and tore it down. He’s currently in the process of bulldozing Esther Williams heart shaped pool (also in the neighborhood). What a jerk.

And the “I can see clearly” cover is suhweet! Big brass section of blaring trumpets. Get me your email and I’ll send you a zip file of the mp3’s. (I guess that’s legal since the albums out of print any way) if you one across another s&c globe I wanna buy one. Im hoping there are more, weren’t there like 50 of’em on the set?

I was heartbroken then angry. I’m really surprised the homeowners association let him do it.
