Interest in this has surged recently and quite rightly too, as this is one of the best acid-punk LPs ever. Clearly inspired by "Electric Comicbook"-era Blues Magoos, these Long Island kids definitely had a problem with both drugs and their attitude! Their originals are excellent Vox organ/fuzz teen garage psych and the covers pretty demented as well. The cough syrup highschool play vibe of "Deaf, Dumb & Blind" must be heard to be believed. Not a perfect album, but the highs are higher than on almost any other LP of this kind. Possibly the best on the label, at least if you prefer the 60s teen-garage approach over hippie longhairs. A Canadian pressing exists. [PL]
***
Easily one of the best on the label with lots of classy psychpunk originals and a truly unique vibe all through it. These guys must've been left pretty much on their own in the studio, probably accompanied by large amounts of weed and cheap beer! You can almost hear the degeneration taking place, from the almost straight punky performance of "Riddles & Fairytales" to the utterly demented "Satisfaction". They even manage to re-write "Gloria" into "(She Always Gives Me) Pleasure" and give it way dirtyer lyrics. The whole album must be heard to be believed - a truly unique LP, especially for a major label! One of the few genuine US garage/acid punk LP's from the 60's no doubt. The pre-LP 45 ("Enough" / "Half The Time" on United Artists) is also an essential killer. [MM]

· CONDITION:
· RECORD
(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)
(a) WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG VERY GOOD+(+) . CAUTION: The vinyl is NOT MINT or NEAR MINT, but is nevertheless in a very nice and clean condition. There are some surface marks and abrasions, mostly light and superficial, although some may be longer than 1.1/4 inches (1 inch = 2.5 centimeters)
(b) The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!
(c) Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:
