Notes

For many years, this has remained one of the most enigmatic and collectable artifacts from the original Golden Age of British pop-psych beloved by serious collectors, Austin Powers lookalikes and oddly enough, the dance music DJ community alike, the price of this mysterious band's one and only album, already at £200 by the mid-1990's, continues to soar.... but why? Who on earth were they? A classic Britpsych cover conceals a masterpiece which might be serious or might be a send up. High Wycombe's most famous period export (along with Zandra Rhodes) continues to both puzzle and amaze. Four art school boys who recorded an album's worth of amazing, dayglow music in an independent studio and ended up selling it to Parlophone Records and rubbing shoulders with The Beatles who, along with The Who and The Moody Blues, namechecked our heroes regularly. It sounds like time you heard what everyone is so worked up about!
