"This is a phantasmagorical collection of 60's pyschedelic rock and pop. Either a great way introduce yourself to a fascinating era in music, or an excellent way to get ahold of some hard to find tracks. Of interest also to prog rock fans (prog rock's roots lie in psychedelia) for the tracks by Tomorrow (featuring a 17-year old Steve Howe on guitar before he joined up with Yes) and "Kites" by Simon Dupree and the Big Sound, a precurser to the band Gentle Giant. The CD comes with colourful detailed liner notes too. A must buy for any fan of psychedelic music!"
Great songs, excellent sound

"A really great anthology including a handful of absolute must-haves....especially the amazing "Circus With A Female Clown" by The Fingers and "We Are The Moles, Part 1" by The Moles. Great notes and sound makes this a really worthwhile package. Get it before it's deleted....."
Top notch sound

"If your bag is 60s english psych this is a goodie.The sound quality is superior as of all the "at Abbey Road " series.Some of these bands were unknown in the U.S. but here is your chance for rediscovery of some ace songs. Tommorrow was my fave, but actually they are all good."

"Total of 22 tracks of some of the really truly great under-rated UK psychedelic bands of the late '60's.A lot of fun to listen to late at night.You get at least one cut by Donovan,Pretty Things,Tomorrow(pre-Yes and Pink Fairies short-lived ensemble)and Syd Barrett(R.I.P.)as well as tunes from some lesser known acts like Nocturnes,Fingers and The Koobas.A must-have,but ONLY if you're a TRUE psych fan.Enjoy."
