I mean, it's pretty much always been about Through With You, which I bet many people may still not have discovered. Spread the word! -
I found "GREEN TAMBOURINE" (1968) by THE LEMON PIPERS in a cut-out bin in the early 1970's for $2.00 or less back when LP's listed for $4.98 to $5.98 . I bought the STEREO version of this album ( I am a STEREOPHILE !) and my favorite song is " GREEN TAMBOURINE ". This LP also contains the '45' of "RICE IS NICE" . The song "GREEN TAMBOURINE" is a great example of the late 1960's psychedelic rock songs . THE LEMON PIPERS recorded only two (2) LP's : "GREEN TAMBOURINE" (1968) and 'JUNGLE MARMALADE" (1968) .

This is a very underrated and brilliant album. The last two songs especially, I wish they weren't forced into bubblegum pop and made more prog and hard rock songs like those. That being said though, the bubblegum pop songs are still really great. Rice Is Nice, Green Tambourine, Rainbow Tree, Ask Me If I Care & The Shoemaker of Leatherwear Square are really nice. -
Get past the first bubblegum song and the rest of the album, particularly side B, you have a very good album. -
The last two tracks on this LP make you wish the band had been able to record more of their own songs. The songs throughout are strong but the absolutely brilliant rocker "Through With You" makes you wonder what the band could have done if they hadn't been pushed into bubblegum pop. The guitar work throughout even on the more pop songs is pretty strong. The other comment mentions that "Stragglin Behind" was written by the drummer. I can believe that because it has a stronger rock edge like the band's other compositions.

According to BMI, "Stragglin' Behind" was written by the drummer Bill Albaugh. Not sure why the songwriter credit was left off.
