Wow what can i say about Jason Crest?? I first heard them on the clasic Rubble collection, and I was blown away. These guys are hands down one of the best Psych groups I've EVER heard. A Place in the Sun and Turquoise Tadem Cycle are 2 of my all-time favorite songs. This group coulda walked circles around the Beatles, they just couldn't get a break. Anyone who hasn't heard their songs yet, you need to seriously get your act going and listen to them.

Is it worth 150$$- probally not! 90$$ possibly! For 40 which i paid i have no regrets. This is great- fantastic singer and group which touches on Floyd Moodies Pretty Things beatles but with their own style. "A place in the sun" is a lost classic- a shifting pop acoustic number with a great haunting chorus and almost spanish sounding extended bridge- and the other tunes are all quality. Whats amazing is most of these songs were demos- they only released a few singles and all you can think is what could have been if they would have gotten the full backing of label and studio. This ranks among my top five of rare british psyche bands and i listen to the cd all the time- the booklet is great with many pictures and detailed info- and if you can find this for under 50 its a must buy if youre into rare 60s stuff. After hearing it i might have paid the extremely high prices on ebay and amazon.!
