"Along Comes Mary"
               (Tandyn Almer)
        [promo copies co-credit Curt Boettcher]

Jim Yester, in the liner notes to the Japanese _From The Original Master
Tapes_ CD (Warner/Pioneer WPCP-3536):

 This was the first national hit for the group, and established the
 "sound" of THE ASSOCIATION. So unique was the arrangement that it was
 explored in depth on a television special by Leonard Bernstein.
