4.0 out of 5 stars Harmonic mid-60s Pop Sound, June 18, 2007

The reviewer who cites this as a "pre-Beatles"-sounding group is mistaken. The Symbols have an obvious Beatles-Hollies influence in their vocals, with a bit of The Association thrown in. If you like strong group harmonies with a late-60s production sound... here's your album. P.S. anybody who buys a disc because the cover shows the group dressed in psychedelic fashion expecting to hear something like Pink Floyd needs to learn how to audition before buying! Dear child of the 90s: EVERY group dressed like that in 1967!

I have to say that I have spent a long time looking for an album of the hits of The Symbols. I am very pleased that I now have a copy of their music; it is second to none and reminds me of my youth.

Brilliant.

This review is from: Best Part of President Recordings 1966-68 (Audio CD)

Ok this cd I really felt gipped on...I saw the cover and they looked like a really heavy Psych group, and they really sounds liek a pre-British Invasion group, they did a few 4 season covers and those were good, but seeing the cover I was expecting more of a Psychedelic sound, but this is far from it. If you like Psych music I wouldn't recomend this. But it's and ok group for pre-beatle fans.
