Well, Jason, I guarantee you're going to be happy with this release.
It's right up your alley.  In fact anyone who's a fan of 60s
psychedelia will flip over this record.  Considering some of the stuff
that DID get released during these days, it's almost miraculous that
this stuff wasn't released.

Now I assume that this stuff's been heavily doctored and scrubbed
for the release, but it still stands way tall compared to other stuff of
its era.  Most impressive?  Naturally, I'd like to think it's BD's guitar
playing, but the real star of this show is Albert.  He's absolutely
huge on this stuff, blowing away any one else playing at the time.
He's sooo inventive, and his approach to drumming is so unique,
giving a sure glimpse into the stuff he'd tear up with BOC.  BD would
impress more, excet for his guitar tone/sound.  The playing's
amazing, it's just not gritty enough to suit me.  Let's not neglect
Allen's keyboards either--lots of heavy B-3 sounding stuff, and
beautifully mixed, too.  I'm shocked to hear BD taking so many
vocals here, but EB's voice is in great form, esp. when used to sing
some very out there lyrics!

Everybody get this one today.  You won't be disappointed...
