• Without much dispute,"The Missing Links" are the wildest 60's group ever produced. They were also pioneers; the first true rebels of rock, of the first bands known to use feedback, of the first bands which can be labeled "garage-punk". They were wild on stage AND vinyl as irreverent innovators.
  "The Missing Links"' are acknowledged as of the first recorded bands to deliberately use feedback as part of their music, and they were almost certainly the first local band to use reverse tape effects on vinyl.
• 
  The Missing Links" were one of the first bands to tap into the tough 1965 blues/R&B style being pioneered by "The Rolling Stones", "The Pretty Things" and "The Yardbirds". They were writing and playing their own extraordinary original material, including a selection of highly-charged improvements on recordings as diverse as "Bo Diddley", "James Brown" and "Bob Dylan".
•  
• Right from the start, "Wild About You" sets the albums frantic tone, while "You're Driving Me Insane" is HEAVY in every sense of the word. It's rightly regarded as one of the greatest 60's rock recordings - ever.
  "You're Driving Me Insane" is firmly rooted in blues and R&B, pre-dating whole slabs of sixties rock recordings which were yet to come. Their buzzing guitar feedback and echo-laden "Farfisa Compact Organ" anticipates "Pink Floyd" by a good two years. Pre-"Masters Apprentices" Doug Ford's pure heavy metal slashing guitar infuses along with a strong psychedelic feel within the whole affair. 
• 
  "H'Tuom Tuhs" is in fact the band's backwards version of "Bo Diddley's "Mama Keep Your Big Mouth Shut". It is surely one of the earliest uses of reverse tape in rock history, beating The Beatles "Tomorrow Never Knows" on vinyl by a good twelve months. Their forwards version is also featured delivering brutal knife-scraping guitar effects ever to be heard!
  
• 
  The original Missing Links Lp is one of the rarest of all garage psych Lp's and rarely if at all do mint copies turn up available.
• 
  All said "The Missing Links" LP remains one of the most savage/primal albums from the 60s comprising the group's blitzkrieg originals, including the intense "All I Want" and virtually all the rest!   Plus classic moody "Not To Bother Me"
