"i made the mistake of ordering this version of this album! it's a great album, but there is a newer version with 2 cds and tons of extra tracks. better yet, it's cheaper than this one!!! i can't believe i made this mistake! i already opened the cd, so i can't return it!"

Ultimate UK bubble gum psych

"This really is THE bubble gum pop psych record. Most of the songs are on a par with "Pictures Of Matchstick Men". Even the two cover songs have great flair. Slammin' version of Tommy Roe's "Sheila". Well worth owning."
