Tina Mason
Is Something Wonderful!
crnow2
The wonderful Tina Mason exploded on the L.A. scene in 1966, appearing at Disneyland and later starring as a regular on Dick Clark's Where The Action Is, where she met future husband and Paul Revere & The Raiders bassist Phil Fang Volk.

After fronting Tina & The Mustangs, she embarked upon recording 1967's Is Something Wonderful! with Electric Prunes producer David Axelrod and the great L.A. arranger H.B. Barnum (Lou Rawls/Supremes/Sinatra). The result was a sumptuous blend of Bacharachian L.A. soft pop and Northern soul/girl group attitude. Northern soul collectors have long coveted Tina's LP and accompanying singles.

These days it is not uncommon for Is Something Wonderful! to exchange hands for three figures. This first-ever CD release features the talents of no less than Wrecking Crew royalty Earl Palmer and Dennis Budimir and is enhanced with seven first-time-on-CD bonus tracks. The 16-page color booklet also includes rare, unpublished photos and comprehensive liner notes that feature the participation of H .B. Barnum and Tina herself.
