"THIS COMPILATION IS A CREDIT TO THE MUS--ICAL GENIUS OF THIS UNHERALDED 60'S GROUP.I HAVE BEEN A FAN OF PEANUT BUTTERCONSPIRACY SINCE I SAW THEM PLAY AT THEMARINA PALACE IN SEAL BEACH,CA.1968.THISCD FEATURES ORIGANAL MATERIAL WRITTEN BYALAN BRACKETT AND JOHN MERRILL AND CONTAINS THE RICH,BEAUTIFUL VOCALS OF THE GROUPS FEMALE LEAD SINGER SANDI ROB--ISON TO WHOM THIS CD IS DEDICATED TOPOSTUMOUSLY.SHE POSESSED SUCH A BEAUTIFUL VOICE,INNOCENT YET POWERFUL.LISTEN TO LONELY LEAF AND PETER PAN TO APPRECIATE HER VOCAL TALENT.ALTHOUGH MOST OF PBC'S MUSIC CONSISTS OF THREEPART HARMONY,SANDI'S VOICE IS TRULY ATREASURE AND CAN CLEARLY BE REGARDED ASPURE AS HER PEERS OF THE ERA,JUDY COLLINS AND LINDA RONSTANDT.THIS IS A WONDERFULLY COMPOSED AND ARRANGED MASTERPIECE THAT SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED."

"Having a name like the Peanut Butter Conspiracy probally didnt help on this otherwise very strong record from this Los Angelas band. Very similiar to Jefferson Airplane( female vocalist male backing members- drummer of PBC was lured to the Airplane-etc). Comparisons aside- this is excellent well written with great vocals from female singer Sandy who has since passed on. The songs are steeped deep in the San Fransisco sound- part pysche-part acid rock pastoral folk. Im very glad i stumbled upon this and i would consider it in the top twenty of the cds released during 1965-1969- too me the golden age of rock and pop. For psyche summer of love "hippie" or sixties fans its a must own. The recording is sonically on par with the best records on the time and almost every song is a keeper. Nice liner notes and the album to own by this shortlived group."
