The Lovin' Spoonful discography
The Lovin' Spoonful is an American folk rock band which was originally active between 1964 and 1968.[1] During their original tenure, they released five studio albums, two soundtrack albums, four compilation albums and fourteen singles in the United States. The band oriented their focus towards the singles market;[2] between October 1965 and January 1967, their first seven singles reached the Top Ten in the United States on Billboard magazine's Hot 100 chart.[3][4] The band experienced their biggest successes in 1966,[5][6] a year in which Billboard's end-of-year issue ranked the group as that year's third best performing singles artist, after the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.[7][8][nb 1] The Lovin' Spoonful saw diminished success in 1967,[10] when only two of their singles entered the top twenty in the U.S.[4][11] Following further chart disappointments,[12] the group disbanded in 1968.[5][nb 2]

The Lovin' Spoonful's albums and singles were originally issued by Kama Sutra Records in the United States and by Pye International Records in the United Kingdom.[17][18] The band was not directly signed to Kama Sutra but was instead signed to Koppelman-Rubin, an entertainment company,[19] which negotiated a deal with the label in June 1965.[13] As part of the arrangement, MGM Records distributed the records, which Kama Sutra released on its label for Koppelman-Rubin.[19][nb 3] MGM's contract with Kama Sutra expired in 1967, and Kama Sutra's leadership founded Buddah Records (later renamed Buddha), transferring their five-year deal with the Lovin' Spoonful in the process.[21][22] In 2023, John Sebastian, the Lovin' Spoonful's primary songwriter, sold his publishing and artist royalties rights to AMR Songs, an American catalog marketing company.[23]
Following the Lovin' Spoonful's dissolution, many of the band's original multi-track master tapes were lost.[24][25][nb 4] The band's earliest CD reissues were made from the best available stereo masters,[25] leaving the material sounding substandard when compared to reissues of other 1960s music.[28] In 2000, after the first-generation master-tapes were rediscovered, Buddha Records issued the first digital remaster of the band's material.[29][30] BMG Heritage Records, a reissue division of Sony BMG,[31] issued digital remasters of the band's first four albums on CD in 2002 and 2003,[32] along with previously unreleased bonus material.[33]

Notes
- ^ RPM published its first Top LPs chart on January 2, 1967,[35] over a month after the release of Hums of the Lovin' Spoonful.[36]
- ^ During its initial chart run, the album entered Billboard's Top LPs chart on December 4, 1965,[40] and it ran for 19 weeks, peaking in February 1966 at number 71.[41] After falling off the chart in April,[42] the album re-entered the chart in June[43] – the same month the single "Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind" peaked at number two – and it spent 16 more weeks on the chart, peaking in August at number 32.[4]
- ^ Revelation: Revolution '69 is credited to "The Lovin' Spoonful featuring Joe Butler",[46] but it only includes Butler playing with session musicians.[47] Later authors therefore generally omit the album when listing the band's discography.[48]

Footnotes edit
- ^ Three of the Lovin' Spoonful's singles that year – "Daydream", "Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind?" and "Summer in the City" – appeared on Billboard's list of the top records of the year. The only other groups to have at least three singles on the list were the Beach Boys (three), Paul Revere & the Raiders (three) and the Beatles (four).[9]
- ^ Joe Butler, Steve Boone and Jerry Yester began touring under the name the Lovin' Spoonful in 1991,[13] a venture opposed by both John Sebastian and Zal Yanovsky.[14] Augmented by a group of touring musicians,[15] the group released a live album, Live at the Hotel Seville, in 1999.[16]
- ^ Around the time of the agreement with Kama Sutra, the Lovin' Spoonful came to a side-agreement with Elektra Records. The agreement saw the band record four songs for the label, all of which later appeared on the 1966 compilation album, What's Shakin'.[20]
- ^ Among the lost tapes are eight-track outtakes which were rendered unplayable after they sunk aboard Boone's studio-boat in Baltimore's Inner Harbor in 1977.[26][27]
