After The Split With The Mamas & Papas, Mama Cass' Broke, But Happy!
Derek Boltwood, Record Mirror, 1 March 1969
A ROARING log fire and its reflection in the pine-panelled walls gave the whole room a cosy reddish glow all ankle-deep in carpet and large relaxed, relaxing, over-stuffed armchairs and sofas. Comfortable. Colonial style American, almost, in Park Lane's Dorchester. Fit for a King. Or a President. Or a Mama.
