Exactly what I expected...

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Being a big fan of other Phil Miller/Pip Pyle projects I was very eager to hear the early work on this legendary album now out on CD. It was exactly as I anticipated it would be and while the historical significance was paramount for me, it does have artistic value as well. It should be noted that while the quality does sound fine, you do know that you are listening to something that was recorded decades ago...



Still, this is far from a bad listen. I quite enjoyed hearing the progressive blues/rock precursor to Hatfield & the North and National Health.



The CD is a particularly nice package as it includes the band's only single as well as a few live tracks.



Would I want this if I didn't already love the Hatfields and Health? Probably not, but since I do, this is fascinating and I wouldn't do with out it. This CD has also sparked my curiosity in vocalist Carol Grimes - I think her vocal style here is intriguing."
