The Mamas & The Papas - California Dreamin'

This has a lot of their 60s songs along with interviews of them. Videos of the songs and live performances are also on here. They hardly ever show them on TV any longer so this makes it worth owning. This is a good purchase if you are a Mamas & the Papas fan. I also like The Mamas & the Papas Greatest Hits album. It has all of their hit songs on it.
