Far Beyond Nuggets, February 5, 2000
This review is from: Reflections (Audio CD)
60s Brit band who recorded under several odd names and are generally, and wrongly, lumped in with the period's garage-rock bands (not that there's anything wrong with garage-rock...) Les Fleurs were a much more polished, professional and groove-savvy outfit; though they never got to grab the brass ring, their collected output shines as some of the most booty-propulsive of the era, perfectly blending rock, soul and psychedelia far better than many of their contemporaries. "Mud In Your Eye", "One Girl City", "Tick Tock" and both versions of "Hold On" deliver the goods in fine, spirited fashion - Bryn Haworth's stinging lead guitar forcefully driving most of the material. I bought this expecting it to be good and was knocked out by HOW good it actually is. Pounce!

They Never Made It?!......Must've Been The Name!, March 23, 2005
This review is from: Reflections (Audio CD)
Yes, that's the only explanation for this bands chart failures because the music speaks British psych rock brilliance! I'm guessing some picked up their singles back then, tried to pronounce their name, then put the single back down in frustration. Anyone who loves the Who, Kinks, Creation, Small Faces, NEEDS TO ADD THIS TO THEIR COLLECTION PRONTO!!! I only knew of "Circles" and "Mud In Your Eye" on the Nuggets Vol.2 compilation, which I both loved upon hearing (their version of "Circles" outdoes the Who's version). But this CD will be such a treat to anyone interested in the "lesser" bands of this awesome era in British rock. Check it out...I'M GLAD I DID!!!

Les Fleur de Lys - 'Reflections' (Blueprint), August 19, 2006
This review is from: Reflections (Audio CD)
Turns out that I've actually heard several tracks of this lost,forgotten and over-looked late '60's psychedelic band before.They have at least two cuts on the Rhino -'Original Artyfacts: Nuggets II' 4-CD box set (see my review).This 24 track compilation release is an absolute must-have for true fans of such. Just a few of the outstanding gems here are "Circles",the fabulous "Mud In Your Eye","Hold On","Prodigal Son" and "Tick Tock". Should appeal to fans of The Action,Creation,The Who,John's Children(pre-T.Rex)and possibly Q65.
