"A very good compilation of obscure american psych groups of the mid 60s and early 70s.Every song has a fuzz guitar sound to it and the usual garage/psych ramblings of the faceless groups featured on this collection.Each song featured has informative notes on it even though some have only a couple of lines,the covers quite colorful but the only thing that lets it down is the black and white photo on the front, but I bought this collection due to the obscurity of the acts featured and to add to my collection of obscure psych."

'A Lethal Dose Of Hard Psych' (Arf! Arf!) Various Artists

"Looks to be the label's second installment of a three disc 'series' if you want to call it that - of even more obscure / underground U.S. psychedelic bands from the 1966-70 era. A bit similar to those 'Pebbles' compilation CD's you might have seen around or even the (much beloved) 'Nuggets II' 4-CD box set. Bands that do the most for me on this title are Catfish Knight, Flower Power, The Aardvarks (likely the best known group of the bunch), the way-out sounding Dutch Masters, Cardboard Box with their catchy "Come On, Baby" and Crystal Rain. I'm assuming that some (or perhaps all) of these tunes were mastered off a single 45 vinyl - ether way, sound quaility couldn't be better. Clearly, another must-have - must-own - must-keep CD. Ideal to play at parties."

Subconcious Train of Thought - The Aardvarks

"Finally, "Subconcious Train of Thought" - The Aardvarks on CD! It's been a long wait. My brother went to school w/ the lead guitarist, Mike Wee...they were a great local St. Louis band in the late 60's. I believe there was an off-shoot of these ant eaters called Spur (if memory serves). Great Stuff!"
