Well worth waiting for!
David Kinney | San Francisco, Ca. United States | 05/22/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I must of come close to buying this record a dozen times or so back in the late sixties. I had really enjoyed Terry's first release "Bang Bang" a lot. But everytime I went to buy this one there semed to be something else released that I wanted a little more, and my weekly allowance precluded the purchase of more than one album at a time. So I didn't hear this magnificent music until about a year ago. This is one of the all time great Brit-rock albums. Terry's singing and playing are leaps and bounds above that of his debut, and his songwriting is also stronger and more assured. There are no turkeys here either. "Silver White Light", "Mayfly', and a cover of Donovan's "Superlungs" are tracks that modern day lessers like Blur and Oasis can only dream about achieving. Don't wait 30 years like I did to hear this amazing talent. Get it now and get it good."
The Durable Originality of Terry Reid

"I bought this album new in the late 60's, and it holds up so well over 30 years later that I now realize I underestimated Reid originally, despite my high opionion of his work at that time. He is a wonderful, startlingly original musician, vocalist and songwriter. The four "bonus cuts" are mercifully tacked on at the end, and the new liner notes are helpful if slightly obscure at times to an American, even one from that time period."
Let's Make it Unanimous

"My pick for greatest unknown album. I pulled this one out of a discount bin in 1970 for about $1.50, and then found it as a punchout CD for like three bucks two years ago. Life works that way sometimes.The album excels in vocals, instrumental work, songwriting, everything but production, by the dread Mickey Most. I don't think anyone has mentioned what an odd song lineup it is: it includes that rarity, a good Donovan cover (that's one for Mickey, to be totally fair), a solid cover of Dylan's "Highway 61" (with Terry making up many of the lyrics as he goes along--!!??!!), that's oddly intertwined with a Reid original, a quirk I've never encountered elsewhere. There's a no less than superb Jerry Ragavoy R&B cover. And there's a bevy of originals--"Mayfly", "Speak Now or Forever Hold your Peace", "Rich Kid Blues"--that equal or surpass any of the covers. A lot has been made of this album being a "60s" or "Woodstock era" piece, but no--this one strikes me as timeless. There ain't anything like this around today. But there wasn't much like it back then either."
