This rare double album has long-since earned its place on many a vinyl collector's "want" list, both for its content and brilliant sixties cover art The Five Day Week Straw People, was the brainchild of Attack's frontman (John Du Cann) and rhythm section (Mick Hawksworth: bass, vocals and Jack Collins: drums), in an attempt record a full blown psychedelic opus. In 1967 in a small studio north of London under the watchful eye of Roy Thomas Baker, the band recorded this legendary work in just 4 hours! After the album's release Du Cann became infatuated with the exciting new sounds of psychedelia, continuing his illustrious career with Andromeda and Atomic Rooster. This important 19 track reissue includes 9 bonus tracks by Attack.
