Happy Together & Time of the Season are my 2 fave stone classics of the Rock/Pop era. They will always stand the test of time.
Perhaps best of all for those who have grown sick of “Happy Together,” (though that’s gotta be a very small minority right!) are a number of obscure but very noteworthy titles that are a part of this set, including the Ray Daviesproduced, “Love in the City,” and “Outside Chance” a very early song (1966) by Warren Zevon, who was a songwriter for the Turtles original label, White Whale, at the time. The contents of the boxes eight singles and their highest chart position follows:
"It Ain’t Me Babe" #8 b/w "You Don’t Have To Walk In The Rain" #51.
"Let Me Be" #29 b/w "Love in the City" #91
"You Baby" #20 b/w "You Know What I Mean" #12
"Happy Together" #1 b/w "Grim Reaper Of Love" #81
"She’d Rather Be With Me" #3 b/w "Story Of Rock And Roll" #48
"She’ s My Girl" #14 b/w "Can’t I Get To Know You Better" #89
"Elenore" #6 b/w "Outside Chance"
"You Showed Me" #6 b/w "Sound Asleep" #57

A great way to make a reissue!!
It uses most of the same backing as the Turtles 45. Presumably his was simply a guide vocal for the Turtles.
This mono 45 box and (if you can find it) the orig. White Whale mono greatest hits lp are highly recommended listening!
