This collection of psych-pop from Australia & New Zealand is a great one... I guess it's fair to say that maybe it's not the most essential psych collection out there these days, but damn it's a solid one nonetheless. Any collection that kicks off with a pre-AC/DC Bon Scott on vocals has to be worth something. And this is one of those rare compilations that really has no filler. Standout tracks: "House of Bamboo", "Moving in a Circle", Bee Gees cover "Upstairs, Downstairs", "Magic Eyes" (tries to out-Cream Cream and does a pretty good job of it). Seriously, though, they're all good.

The product arrived in excellent shape. The music has a catchy sound to it. The interpretation of me and my partners song was excellent.
Thank you

Not to knock the "Down Under" Psychedlic scene..not knowing/hearing much from Australia during this era, but when I saw 27 tracks listed I figured I couldn't go wrong. I was somewhat disappointed as I found, unlike a previous reviewer, quite a bit of filler. Australia unfortunately was not an undiscovered gem of a scene that is being discovered and finally being exposed to the world. I could hear 3 quality songs; Eastern Dream, Magic Eyes, and Sitting by a Tree...about 4 other tunes would start out with promise..but then take a quick left turn off the road into deserved obscurity..
