moax429 13th Aug 2022		Were there any pressings of this that had "A Division of Four Star Television" in the rim print at the bottom? I know Warner Bros. Records purchased Valiant from Four Star in 1966 and absorbed Valiant into Warner Bros. As for Four Star, their back catalog of TV shows are now owned by Disney(!). In early 2019, Disney bought out the film library of 20th Century Fox (who owned Four Star's library at that time) and renamed the company to 20th Century Studios. Then all the Fox TV properties began being syndicated by Disney.



kokomolloyd 14th Apr 2021		I bought this LP new, at a K-Mart. It came with the original stereo cover (with the premium stereo price), but the LP was a mono pressing. The K-Mart would not exchange it under their policy of never taking an opened LP back. Bummer!



The Doors - Topic 2nd Dec 2019		Review Renaissance was a difficult album for the Association to record. Coming in the wake of a serious hit album (And Then...Along Comes the Association) and two huge hit singles ("Along Comes Mary," "Cherish") and at a time when the group was experiencing more bookings than its members had ever dreamed possible, Renaissance was rushed out under pressure from the band's label. Alas, Renaissance bore little resemblance to its predecessor. For starters, the Association had lost the services of producer Curt Boettcher, who was the architect of the earlier album's extraordinary sound. Additionally, Renaissance was comprised entirely of original material, much of which had been written while the group was touring. These songs were competent and showed some flashes of inspiration but, apart from "Come to Me," nothing here offered anything even remotely as catchy as either of the band's two previous singles. With Association rhythm guitarist Jim Yester's brother Jerry Yester producing, Renaissance has a more stripped-down, conventional folk-rock feel. Apart from lead guitarist Gary Alexander and wind player Terry Kirkman, none of the other members played on this album, but Alexander is a delight, mixing melodic folk-rock picking and strumming, throwing in a few high-energy licks on one or two numbers, and even using a koto for the album's single, "Pandora's Golden Heebie Jeebies." The latter, despite having a grotesque title when following up a single like "Cherish," is a prize piece of pop psychedelia, all gorgeous harmonies and spaced-out sensibilities backed by a bracing beat. Renaissance wasn't a bad album, but was a more routine, predictable recording than its predecessor and, without a hit single to help push sales, it never reached audiences in remotely the same numbers. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?



TheDroid 17th Aug 2015		Added cleaner cover of version with two song titles added to front (image #542418) with a nod to original uploader Trainman. Also added a label variant that may be from RCA, Indianapolis. I cannot determine if it is an "I" or a "1" stamped in the deadwax. Perhaps W.B.lbl can identify?



TheDroid 8th Mar 2015		Some original packaging of the initial stereo LP (VLS-25004) used existing mono covers with a stereo sticker added to it to show it housed the stereo version of album. (See scan)



Trainman 22nd Aug 2014		Added sleeve images
