Description
Once Upon a Dream is the fourth studio album by rock band The Rascals, released in February 1968. The album rose to number 9 on the Billboard Top LPs chart and number 7 on the R&B chart.
Once Upon a Dream was the band's first album billed to "The Rascals"; they had, for legal reasons, been known as The Young Rascalsuntil this time. It was also the last Rascals album to be available in both mono and stereo mixes.
The album was received differently by fans and critics. Many consider this album to be the band's best work, while others insist that it was too different from their traditionally rhythm and blues influenced music. Lead vocals came from both Eddie Brigati and Felix Cavaliere, as well as from Eddie's brother and unofficial band member David Brigati (on "Finale: Once Upon a Dream") and Gene Cornish on his own number, "I'm Gonna Love You."
In an interview with Melody Maker in 1967, Cavaliere stated, "Our new album, and I say this in a humble way, will be Sgt. Pepperish." The album uses frequent sound effects and spoken words between the songs.
A single of "It's Wonderful" (credited to "The Young Rascals," the band's last recording to be so billed) was issued concurrently with the album in early 1968 and peaked at number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The single ends with a coda of "Mardi Gras"-style special effects and party sounds that were not included in the album version.
The album was reissued on August 28, 2007 by Collectors' Choice Music.
