Follow up album from Mama Cass showcasing her versatility on this collection of upbeat songs. Bubble Gum, Lemonade includes the UK No. 8 hit single It’s Getting Better. (US:45)

“This is simply great. If singing bubble gum music is a sin, she is forgiven. No one could sing it with such charm and in such high spirits. Tracks such as Blow Me A Kiss, When I Just Wear My Smile and Lady Love alone are worth buying the album. And there is much, much more to be delighted with: there is Mama's voice.”

“If you ever wanted a Mama Cass's LP full of sweet, romantic, not-so-dramatic tunes, and her beautiful voice, this one is for you.”

“This is very simply a must-have for every Cass Elliot fan. Its a collection of nice little songs, sung by one of the truly unique voices in the history of pop singing. This is late 60s pop at its best - so bright and sunny it's practically raining daisies.”

“The second solo album by Cass Elliot contains some great songs and dynamite singing. The upbeat songs offer a lot of hope, brightness and positivity that the world needs so much today.”

“This album has one of the biggest ballads that Cass ever sang - He's A Runner. This song is one of the performances of Cass's career. She really belts out this ballad so heartily that is just amazing to hear this woman's talent. Cass's way with a song is something that will always live on.”

“There is pure sunshine in her voice. Every note is precisely sung, every syllable enunciated. There is sweetness and good humour in her style, with an undercurrent of longing that makes Mama Cass's voice instantly recognizable, the kind of voice that, whatever you're doing, makes you want to stop and listen.”

“Were it not for Cass's great vocals, close to half of these songs would have wound up in a trash bin. But that said, Cass Elliott herself gives that special something that makes it worthwhile.”
