If you don't like the way records were mixed to stereo in the 60's (drums and bass right speaker, guitars and singing left and center) then you won't like this. I recommend you buy the other version- The Weeds aka The Lollipop Shoppe- instead. It's been remastered without such a wide stereo soundfield and definitely sounds more modern. Plus the bonus tracks are just as awesome as the original record. But because I love this record so much I HAD to get both. This one has two fantastic bonus songs that are not available on The Weeds cd. These songs are the closest to the group "Love" I have ever heard (I love Love). The thing is Revola stuck to the original mixes, which I think was a great idea. It gives you a better idea of what the original record sounded like, which I somehow missed back in the day. My advice is to first get The Weeds cd. I bet you're gonna want this one too (if you're a fan of 60's psych that is). Don't think twice, it's alright!

This Rev-ola disc sounds better than the original UNI LP and I believe it was sourced from a Master tape or perhaps a safety. Highly reccommended.

I USUALLY DONT WRITE A REVIEW UNTIL I OWN THE CD AND LISTEN TO IT TWICE...SOME OF MY PALS HAVE MENTIONED THIS BAND [HI, BUD WEBSTER] AND ARE CURIOUS, AND SINCE NOBODY HAS REVIEWED IT. I WILL SAY A FEW THINGS BASED ON THE 30-SECOND SAMPLES AND ONE SONG I HAVE ON A COMP...I NEVER HAD THE LP SO I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS BECAUSE OF WORD ON THE NET...SO HERE GOES. THE SINGER IN THIS BAND APPEARS TO BE A FAN OF ARTHUR LEE [FROM LOVE] AND SOUNDS A BIT LIKE HIM BUT WITHOUT THE POWER. THE SOUND SEEMS VERY TINNY AND THIN, VERY GARAGE, AND ONLY A FEW OF THE SONGS WERE APPEALING. I SUSPECT THIS BAND COULD SOUND A LOT BETTER WITH A TOUCH OF PRODUCTION, BUT THIS IS THE POOREST SOUND IVE HEARD ON THIS LABEL...AGAIN,JUST SAMPLES, BUT I THINK I WILL PASS......BRITMAN 46
