Margo Guryan's honeyed voice and gorgeously sweet songwriting has become a favorite of the soft-pop set. As a successful songwriter, her compositions have been recorded by the likes of Jackie DeShannon, Spanky & Our Gang, Astrid Gilberto, Claudine Longet, Oliver, Cass Elliot, Glen Campbell, Saint Etienne and Harry Belafonte. Her only solo album, the magnificent Take A Picture (featuring the hit Sunday Morning), has become a cult classic since it's release in 1968, and no wonder: it's combination of marvelously funky sunshine arrangements and Margo's delicious melodies are a heady combo. She's influenced everyone from the Wondermints to Belle and Sebastian to Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody (who listened to Take A Picture while writing Juno). - In 2001, Margo originally released 25 Demos, a collection of fully-fleshed out demos from her personal collection. Most people's demos are mere sketches - Margo's are little baroque masterpieces, featuring string arrangements, circus organ, chamber-pop rhythm sections and tons of glorious echo. Now, Modern Harmonic presents the biggest collection yet, 29 Demos, all lovingly wrapped in a gorgeous gatefold jacket loaded with liner notes. Finally, an album worthy to follow Take A Picture- two LP's worth of magnificent soft-pop. What Can I Give You 2:18, Something's Wrong with the Morning 1:44, I Love 2:06, Sunday Morning 2:13, Can You Tell 2:07, Think of Rain 2:20, Sun 2:30, Most of My Life 2:09, The 8:17 Northbound Success Merry-Go-Round 2:09, Love Songs 2:52, Thoughts 2:12, I Don't Intend to Spend Christmas Without You 2:17, Come to Me Slowly 2:20, Timothy Gone 1:44, It's Alright Now 2:00, Why Do I Cry 2:13, Under My Umbrella 1:59, Values 2:31, I Think a Lot About You 2:16, The Hum 2:43, Please Believe Me 3:53, I'd Like to See the Bad Guys Win 1:41, Yes I Am 3:09, California Shake 3:26, Shine 3:02, Hold Me Dancin' 2:52, Good-Bye July 3:51, Someone I Know (Chip Taylor Demo) 2:07, Think of Rain (Malcolm McNeill Demo) 2:39
