The Lovin' Spoonful is an American folk-rock band which was originally active between 1964 and 1968.[1] During their original tenure, they released five studio albums, two soundtrack albums, four compilation albums, and fourteen singles in the United States. Between October1965 and January1967, their first-seven singles reached the Top Ten in the United States on Billboard magazine's Hot 100 chart,[2][3] and the magazine's 1966 end-of-year issue ranked the group as that year's third-best-performing singles artist, after the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.[4][5][nb 1] Though the Spoonful achieved success during the transition to the album era, they and their label remained focused on the singles market;[7] the group's 1966 album Daydream was their only studio album to break the Top Ten of the Billboard Top LPs chart,[8] and its performance was bested only by a 1967 compilation album, The Best of the Lovin' Spoonful,[8] which RIAA certified for gold that year.[9] The Spoonful saw diminished success in 1967,[10] when only two of their singles entered the top twenty in the U.S.[3][11] Following further chart disappointments,[12] the group disbanded in 1968.[13][nb 2]
The Lovin' Spoonful's albums and singles were originally issued by Kama Sutra Records in the United States and by Pye International Records in the United Kingdom.[18][19] The band was not directly signed to Kama Sutra but was instead signed to Koppelman-Rubin, an entertainment company,[20] which negotiated a deal with the label in June1965.[14] As part of the arrangement, MGM Records distributed the records, which Kama Sutra released on its label for Koppelman-Rubin.[20][nb 3] MGM's contract with Kama Sutra expired in 1967, and Kama Sutra's leadership founded Buddah Records (later renamed Buddha), transferring their five-year deal with the Spoonful in the process.[22][23] The band's new contract ran until 1975 and had their compensation at seven figures.[24][nb 4] In 2023, John Sebastian, the Spoonful's primary songwriter, sold the publishing and artist royalties rights for all of his compositions to AMR Songs, an American catalog marketing company.[28]
The Lovin' Spoonful's music has been regularly collected on compilation albums.[29] In the years after the band's breakup, many of their original multi-track master-tapes were lost and presumed destroyed.[30][31][nb 5] The group's earliest CD reissues were instead made from the best available stereo masters,[31] leaving the material sounding substandard when compared to reissues of other 1960s music.[33] In 2000, after the first-generation master-tapes were rediscovered, Buddha issued Greatest Hits, which was the first digital remaster of the band's material.[29][34]BMG Heritage Records, a reissue division of Sony BMG,[35] issued digital remasters of the band's first four studio albums on CD in 2002 and 2003,[36] along with previously unreleased bonus material.[37]

^Around the time of the agreement with Kama Sutra, the Spoonful came to a side-deal with Elektra Records. The deal saw the band record four songs for the label, all of which later appeared on What's Shakin', a 1966 compilation album.[21]
^MGM and Kama Sutra's renegotiated deal added a "key-man clause" which specified that the Spoonful would only exist if Sebastian was a member.[25] After he left the band in 1968 and recorded his debut solo album,[26] MGM initially sought to release the album under the Spoonful's name.[27]
^Among the lost tapes are eight-track outtakes which were rendered unplayable after they sunk aboard Boone's studio-boat in Baltimore's Inner Harbor in 1977.[32]
