Hailing from America's West Coast, The Other Half achieved a small amount of fame when The Fall covered their punk-garage single 'Mr Pharmacist' in the '80s. In point of fact, the band's sound was more psychedelic than garage, with the sustain-laden guitar style of Jeff Beck-inspired axeman Randy Holden (who later went on to join Blue Cheer) strongly underpinning the group's musical thrust. Holden's guitar is at its best on a selection of fine original compositions such as 'Morning Fire' and the album's finale, 'What Can I Do For You?', as well as on a superb re-working of Arthur Lee's 'Feathered Fish'.
