REISSUE

NOT SEALED AS ISSUED

SECTION: PSYCHEDELIC, PROGRESSIVE, FOLK > 60's & 70's
Cat. No. : Swddl731
Debut album by this band from Santa Barbara, California. A five man band which included three brothers –– one of them being Ernie Joseph, lead guitar and vocals, who would later form and lead the psychedelic band ’Big Brother’.

Highly consistent throughout, the album delivers 16 well constructed songs in a psychedelic soul vein, with catchy tunes and heavy drums; horn arrangements cater for the soul touch. While their follow–up album drifts away from their psychedelic roots, the band managed to record in this debut album one of the best records in the UNI catalogue. Limited to 500 copies, with remastered sound and preserving the original artwork.
