The Archies - Sugar Sugar Melody Hill

Review by Scott Sharp

The album Sugar Sugar Melody Hill by Archies is a classic pop album that is sure to transport listeners back to the 1960s. The Archies were a fictional band created for the Archie comic book series, but they became real-life chart-toppers with their hit single "Sugar, Sugar." This album features that iconic track, as well as other catchy tunes like "Jingle Jangle" and "Melody Hill."

The songs on this album are upbeat, fun, and perfectly capture the spirit of the era. The vocals are light and breezy, with harmonies that will have listeners tapping their toes and humming along. The instrumentation is simple but effective, with jangly guitars and catchy melodies.

For many of us Archies freeks, "Sugar, Sugar"/"Melody Hill" was a double-A sided hit, just like the Beatles' "Come Together"/"Something
