Louis Farrell had previously been with Gun and many members had played with Please.

Bulldog Breed's mighty obscure album -- the only one they put out -- is face-in-the-crowd late-'60s British psychedelia.
It's a bit of a club sandwich of period U.K. psych approaches, from the assertive mod guitar chording
of "Paper Man" and testosterone-driven bluesy rock to clomp-a-clomp singsong vignettes
of everyday English life ("Eileen's Haberdashery Store") and bittersweet harpsichord balladry ("Dougal").
Several cuts have an almost definitively clichéd late-'60s British wah-wah psych pop guitar,
and the filtered-fishbowled texture of the vocal on "Austin Osmanspare"
is likewise the kind of sound you rarely heard on record in any other years.
"Friday Hill," the best song, is fairly nice sad meditative U.K. pop-psych,
and "You" is an unexpected shift into an almost cocktail-jazzy breeze.
...to fervid collectors of '60s psychedelia...(AllMusic)
