Lost 1960's soft-psych classic now in rotation: GENESIS by Wendy and Bonnie

This album was but a rumor for years which turned out to be true: back in the sixties, two precocious teen sisters, Wendy and Bonnie Flower, but 13 and 17 of age, had supposedly recorded a whole album of ethereal and sophisticated vocal harmonies in an understated, dreamy, memorable soft-rock style. What had actually occurred was that veteran studio musicians had helped the sisters Flower (their real name!) work their earnest, plaintive, precious little tunes into a full-blown, major label funded-authoritative statement of ‘60’s soft-rock policy.
