Golden Hits was a slightly premature greatest hits package from good time US pop group The Turtles. Better compilation CDs, which include their later hits, are currently available. (US:7)
"Although The Turtles' beginnings found them aligned with the folk-rock world, they soon repositioned themselves as more of a good time pop band, starting with their big hit Happy Together."
"Grim Reaper is an early psychedelic song, though not as breathtakingly so as Eight Miles High by The Byrds – but anyway, at least that was a moment when The Turtles, often remembered as a '60s pop hit group who always played other people's songs, were progressive on their own."
"We have some of the best bubblegum of the 60s here (Happy Together, She'd Rather Be With Me) and some stuff that I could really do without. Such is the case with this genre."
"There are a few inferior songs here, but there is enough great stuff to make for a good greatest hits package. The Turtles were really underrated - one of the '60s American bands that were overshadowed by the British Invasion."
"The Turtles created a lot of great music. No, they didn't break new ground, raise the bar with innovative musical ideas, or leap traditional barriers with a single bound. They did, however, present some very pleasant tunes with great hooks that make you feel happy no matter how many times you've heard them."
"An American band from the 60s with an upbeat tempo that even the younger people of today will enjoy. The Turtles have an awesome rock 'n' roll sound that you will love forever. The music from The Turtles is so positive and enjoyable that you just want to sing along with them."
"This is a band that I have admired since I was a teenager. They play romantic songs with the necessary musical strength."
