5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible, March 26, 2000

This is a lost treasure of psychedelia. Currently, the original vinyl is very, very rare and, of course, very expensive. But buy the CD edition and you won't regret! Incredible psych blues pieces (the two Yardbird's covers, "Psycho Daisies" and "Rock Me Baby"), and excellent and unpredictable 100% psychedelic songs ("The Otherside", "Buffalo Byllican", "Doctor Rock", "Mr. Jones"), make this album a masterpiece.

3.0 out of 5 stars Solid English psych-pop, October 10, 2002

This review is from: An Apple a Day (Audio CD)

I'm not sure what the previous reviewer expected when ordering this CD and then calling it "ABSOUTELY (sic) AWFUL", but this is prime UK 60's psych-pop. Not exactly THE greatest album of all time, but still very good and highly entertaining. It would be interesting to know exactly WHAT the reviewer found so awful about this album...

The album is a blend of heavy R&B (á la The Yardbirds, which they do two covers of, by the way) and slightly whimsy UK psychedelia. The stand out track - The Otherside - is one of the greatest singles of British psychedelia, issued as the B-side of Doctor Rock in 1968.

The single versions aren't very interesting and doesn't differ much from the album versions, except they're in mono. It's a pity that their last single Thank You Very Much / Your Heart Is Free Just Like The Wind wasn't tacked on as bonus tracks though.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Doctor is Preferable, June 11, 2010

By

This review is from: An Apple a Day (Audio CD)

Had high hopes for this, and was disappointed. Sounds more mainstream 60's British pop than psychedelic.

Competent playing, average vocals, and forgettable melodies. An album for collectors of albums from the era, not for listeners.
