THE GREEN SHAG! "GOOD RECORDS FOR GOOD PEOPLE!"
THE TRAVEL AGENCY / THE TRAVEL AGENCY
1968 VIVA 1st USA PRESS
••••• UNBELIEVABLE ACID ERA GENIUS. Existing somewhere between The Beatles and Guided By Voices, this '68 underground gem borders on near psych/pop perfection and sounds every bit as fresh today as it did then - coming off as much of a fuzz psych standout as it does an indie rock powerhouse. Hard to believe this was 1968! Beautiful harmonies and tight songwriting along with fuzz guitars and amazing early analog synth sounds on "What's A Man" and rocking "Cadillac George" "Come To Me" and Old Man" are crucial spins. UNDERGROUND PSYCH ESSENTIAL STATUS.
