Margo Guryan Take a Picture LP (Mono) (Brown Vinyl)

Take a Picture blends Margo Guryan's infectious and highly intelligent songcraft with her absolutely unique voice — equal parts girl group innocence and seductive torch. One of the most endearing and delicious soft rock records from its era, this unique mono mix was previously only available as a radio station promo!

Margo Guryan's honeyed voice and gorgeously sweet songwriting have become a favorite of the soft-pop set. As a successful songwriter, her compositions have been recorded by the likes of Jackie DeShannon, Spanky & Our Gang, Astrid Gilberto, Claudine Longet, Oliver, Cass Elliot, Glen Campbell, Saint Etienne and Harry Belafonte. Her only solo album, the magnificent Take a Picture (featuring the hit "Sunday Morning"), has become a cult classic since its release in 1968, and no wonder: its combination of marvelously funky sunshine arrangements and Margo's delicious melodies are a heady combo. She's influenced everyone from the Wondermints to Belle and Sebastian to Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody (who listened to Take a Picture while writing Juno).

Once you hear this masterpiece in its true mono mix, you'll never hear the stereo version the same again… it's that good.
