U.K. Psych Blues album featuring Alex Harvey, Mickey Keene, Laurie Baker, Peter Woolf etc. This album was recorded when Alex was in the rock musical 'HAIR' and the band that played all the music was deemed good enough to record for this album. Harvey wrote many of the songs and plays guitar and sings. Produced by former Animals keyboardist Alan Price.

Great heavy psych prog beast that would be as big and as valuable as other similar monsters like Open Mind and Motherlight if it weren't for the presence of horns on some tracks. Personally, I don't mind a little sax here and there, especially in public places.

Anyway, there are some really killer tracks on here, like "Golden Egg", which starts off in a cool loungey funk mode before switching gears to a KILLER late 60′s go-go dancefloor theme with dramatic orchestral stabs and some sexy, jazzy sax solos.

"Electric Blues" isn't really blues at all, but more of an upbeat rural-flavored psych rock track with some trippy backwards guitar. It gets more upbeat and picks up tempo as it goes along, culminating in a psychedelic maelstrom of wild guitar solos courtesy of Mr. Alex Harvey himself.
