      Unfortunately Fuzz Acid and Flowers got it completely wrong on this album (unless they were listening to the wrong record!) Far from average this is a bit of an undiscovered gem. Originally released on Hobbit (Sapphire Thinkers) in 1969 it’s a highly original blend of West Coast laid back psychy garage country rock with lashings of harmony. A highly polished production with sparse instrumentation (keyboards, guitars and multi part harmonies) the whole thing hangs together with a very laid back groove. A great example of Rural Psych Rock without all of the usual Grateful Dead/Eagles cliches. Flashes of Mandrake Memorial, Beach Boys, Creedence and Quicksilver Messenger Service make this a really worthwhile album that's highly recommended for those who thought they'd heard it all. Housed in a digipack sleeve.
