The Mamas and the Papas “ Creeque Alley “ single version in stereo... 2021.......

The Mamas and the Papas “ Creeque Alley “ single version in stereo... to stereo mix... The title of the song, which does not occur in the lyrics, is derived from Creque or Crequi (pronounced “creaky“) Alley, home to a club in the Virgin Islands where John and Michelle Phillips’ original group, the New Journeymen, spent time on vacation. The lyric “Greasin’ on American Express cards“ refers to that time, during which they could only make ends meet by using their credit cards, and the lyric “Duffy’s good vibrations, and our imaginations, can’t go on indefinitely“ refers to Hugh Duffy, the owner of the club on Creeque Alley; Duffy later owned Chez Shack in Vieques, Puerto Rico. Lyrics: Name-dropping: The Phillips’ lyrics mention, directly or indirectly, many artists and bands who were part of the folk music scene at the time, including fellow band members Cass Elliot and Denny Doherty, Zal Yanovsky and John Sebastian
