Album Notes & Community Reviews

Compiling several highly successful singles with new studio material, the debut from Roy Wood's Birmingham outfit is a defining document of British freakbeat and psychedelia. The band seamlessly integrates heavily distorted guitar riffs with soaring, Beach Boys-inspired vocal harmonies and whimsical, distinctively English lyrical themes.
