"If you like the psychedelic era this is for you. An odd collection that I am glad I found out about while it's still in print. The musicianship is absolutely incredible. Awesome harmony vocals influenced by and equal to the Beatles(blasphemy?). The "Good Day Sunshine" cover is VERY close to the Beatles version. Quite an accomplishment without George Martin. "Shake Hands(and Come Out Crying)" is worth the price of admission alone. "Be Mine" could have been a cool Beach Boys song(and as general rule I hate the Beach Boys). ........"May you never hear surf music again". "What A State I'm In" sounds like John Lennon singing with some serious psychedelic guitar. Some of the songs will sound conventional when they start, then freakout psych guitar will kick in or very unusual vocals will make your head cock like the RCA dog. "Anything" is an example of this. 30 second sound bites are no good for judging this cd! It is, in my opinion, worth the import price and the wait! Great remastering and liner notes."
