Four from Gavin Hobson...
i. "A perfect mix of the the grungy sounds of the time, but with masses of psych, that found a major indie label home, but undeservedly cluttered up sale bins for years. I've only really encountered one other big fan of these guys, & I don't know why"
ii. "One of the 1st albums that tipped me off there was no justice in the music world. These guy's had a killer album, but very few people seemed to know them even amongst Garage/Psych fans"
iii. "this number by The Vogue kind of fits in with that same SF Sorrow snotty punk garage psychedelia, whilst throwing in a few krautrock moves"
iv. "The Hamilton Streetcars' original was cool & all, but what was really needed was a New Wave Power Pop band to plug in the fuzz pedal & up the insanity"
