Terry Melcher: Terry Melcher
Bud Scoppa, Rolling Stone, 6 June 1974
THIS ALBUM is definitely not for everyone. Terry Melcher, once the producer of the Byrds and Paul Revere and the Raiders, has released an eccentric work that suggests hes given up not just an optimism but even on despair. The result suggests the bleak mood of LAvventura.
