Album Description
Available in:
The Mamas & the Papas is the self-named second album by The Mamas & the Papas, released in 1966. It peaked at #4 in the US and #24 in the UK. The lead off single, "I Saw Her Again", peaked at #5 in the US and #11 in the UK. "Words of Love" was released as the second single in the US and peaked at #5. In the UK, it was released as a double A-side with "Dancing in the Street" and peaked at #47.
After it was discovered that group members Michelle Phillips and Denny Doherty were having an affair, tension in the band erupted and Michelle was fired from the group in June 1966. In July, a new singer was hired to replace her. Jill Gibson was producer Lou Adler's girlfriend at the time and was already a singer/songwriter who had performed on several Jan and Dean albums. She learned to sing Michelle's parts within three weeks while the band was in London, England. Who actually sang on this album is a matter of conjecture. Half of the album had already been recorded with Michelle, including the hit singles "I Saw Her Again" and "Words of Love", before she was fired from the group. Gibson went to work recording with Doherty, John Phillips and Cass Elliot, including dubbing over some of Michelle's completed vocals. By the end of August, Michelle was asked to rejoin the group and Gibson was let go. Michelle then recorded vocals on two new songs with the group and dubbed over some of Gibson's vocals.
During the discussion on this sophomore album in the Matthew Greenwald's book, "Go Where you Wanna Go", Gibson claims she sang on ten of the songs. Adler states it was more like six, and Michelle adds that only engineer Bones Howe knows for sure who was on the final release, because she and Gibson both recorded many of the same songs, dubbing over each other's vocals. In all likelihood, a number of the songs on this album contain the voices of all five singers.
The album was first issued on CD in 1988 (MCAD-31043) and also appears in its entirety on All the Leaves are Brown, a retrospective compilation of the band's first four albums, with the single versions of "I Saw Her Again" and "Words of Love".
