I still have the original vinyl with Big Tree and Next on it - Linda of the Hyundai from the Cape (the right folks will know who I mean) turned me on to these guys in the 80s and I'm sooooo pleased to find this release.  My favorite liner note on the original release was (paraphrased) If you're not pleased with this product, call us and we'll come to your house and sing...

Well..where to start?  Just a great album if you like catchy, upbeat and positive works.  Musically reminding me of Toronto's Bare Naked Ladies, the early years.  Big Tree, Next, Sitting Pretty, Red Room, Raise the Roof and Shovel/Love are my fav's.  Growing up down the street in the 80's I couldn't appreciate them until re-listening to the music almost 25 years later...Chris & Hub, y'all were really great shits to us...Morgan, John and myself.  As I listen to the music, the memories flood back of funny times and the goodness you exuded to us...thanks!  I'm glad I never forgot y'all.  Best of luck, don't be a stranger and look forward to seeing you guys again before we get too old!

I saw these guys a dozen or so times over the years. First time was a WFNX show at the Paradise in Boston. (1985, I think.) The guys were on the bill with O Positive. What a great night. I drove down from Portland Maine with a friend to see the guys. The show was worth it. It would be every other time I saw them. On listening to the CD, I'm reminded of well Chris and Hub's songwriter balanced each other out. I'd forgotten how much I liked Max's songwriting, too. And it's really great to be reminded that Dana had some fierce skills on the sax even then. OK guys... is there going to be a reunion next?

I can't believe it's been 20 years. I met these guys in Princeton NJ, and carried their music with me into NYC. I saw them every chance I could, even in road trips to Boston. A damp PA basement put an end to my collection of 3 Colors tapes and LPs, so I'm ecstatic to have another opportunity to own it again. It may be 20 years later, but the music is still amazingly fresh and irresistibly infectious. (I love that Mac and Martha is part of this collection; a favorite I'm not sure I had previously.) It's a mystery why these creative geniuses didn't rocket to national attention. They were huge in my book! Robin loves Three Colors -- and CD Baby!
