Although former New Christy Minstrels singer Barry McGuire scored a fluke novelty hit with the Bob Dylan-styled folk-rock protest anthem "Eve of Destruction" in the summer of 1965, neither he nor producer Lou Adler's startup label Dunhill Records seems to have had a long-term plan for his solo career beyond trying to score another hit single. Naturally, Dunhill quickly issued an Eve of Destruction LP, filling the tracks with McGuire covers of recent folk hits and more originals by P.F. Sloan, who'd penned the hit. Sloan also wrote the follow-up singles "Child of Our Times" and "This Precious Time," neither of which made the Top 40. By the end of the year, Dunhill had another McGuire LP, This Precious Time, again mixing Sloan songs with other people's hits like "Do You Believe in Magic" and "Yesterday." That is the first of two McGuire albums combined on this two-fer CD reissue. The other is McGuire's third and final Dunhill album, 1968's The World's Last Private Citizen, which really was just a contractual obligation release cobbled together from more failed singles and even tracks borrowed from This Precious Time and Eve of Destruction. Thus, most of McGuire's Dunhill output is included on this CD, albeit in jumbled-up sequence. The gruff-voiced singer handles the personal and political angst of Sloan's songs well, and he even turns to a croon for some of the ballads. Oddly enough, he introduced his friends, the members of the Mamas & the Papas, to Dunhill, and they went on to be much more successful than he did. Their first hit, "California Dreamin'," was even recorded as a McGuire track initially, and that's how it's presented here, just with his craggy vocal in place of Denny Doherty's soulful one, and a harmonica solo instead of the flute. The paring of McGuire and the group is odd because his voice, frequently flat, with idiosyncratic phrasing and timing, makes for a strange combination with their ethereal harmonies and precision. On the second half of the disc, things get even stranger, as McGuire keeps looking for another hit by turning psychedelic ("Inner-Manipulations") or trying to repeat the "Eve of Destruction" formula (a cover of Dylan's "Masters of War"). Not surprisingly, Dunhill opted to end his tenure where it had begun, placing "Eve of Destruction" as the last track on his last album for the label. So, at least the one hit by this one-hit wonder is included here.
