There can't be anyone out there who has never heard of 1960's Belfast legends and hitmakers, Them. From the Maritime to Van Morrison's mainstream rock fame, it's a pretty well known tale....but like most things Irish, there are always a couple of.....left turns....which are well worth a look....one of those is the Kim Fowley sponsored Belfast Gypsies, with half the original Them....the other half took on Belfast powerhouse vocalist and old mate Kenny McDowell, and headed back to the scene of the happiest dates on their bizarre U.S. tour…
California....where with the aid of producer Ray Ruff they signed to Capitol susiduary Tower, home of The Standells and The Chocolate Watchband, as a full on Psychedelic Punk band.....Shadows Of Knight?....Pah! We'll show 'em how it's done!....two, overlooked classic albums resulted, of which this was the First....together with the attendant single mixes, a picture of a forgotten period for a world-famous band..Them. This album has never before been released on CD and comes complete with the rare single mixes, all from original masters. The sleeve notes contain the full story of Them in California making this a must for Psych Punk fans, Van Morrison completists, and all fans of Them!
