"Just as I commented about Cactus-Fully Unleashed....this is also a very excellent cd.....the best this band came up with....but why it wont get reissued is beyond me. Bide your time and you'll see a reissue eventually....
Use some common sense here.....if you pay $149.00 for a cd....you really do have more budget than brains....dont give these greedy sellers the last laugh.......wait for the reissue...or just go and download the songs from a free music site...This is the part of the music industry I despise....greedy opportunists who jack the price of cd's thru the roof....because they are no longer in print."

GOD IS ALIVE & WELL AND LIVES IN A SUGAR CUBE

"THIS IS THE QUINTESSENTIAL PSYCHEDELIC MASTERPIECE FROM 1967 THAT CAPTURES THE MUSIC, ART, FASHION AND SUBJECT MATTER OF THE "PSYCHEDELIC RENAISSANCE" AT IT'S PEAK. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE 2 COPIES OF THE ORIGINAL ALBUM (ONE STILL SEALED), I HAD TO PICK UP THIS IMPORT ON CD JUST FOR THE GREAT SONG "LOSE TO LIVE" WHICH HAS BEEN DELIBERATELY OMITTED FROM EVERY COMPILATION OF THE S.A.C. EVERY TUNE ON THIS ALBUM IS WORTH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION! THE ORGAN TRACK TO "INCENSE & PEPPERMINTS" WAS PLAYED ON A FARFISA, NOT A VOX SUPER CONTINENTAL WHICH IS WHAT YOU USUALLY SEE MARK PLAYING ON OLD VIDEO CLIPS. EVEN THOUGH THE S.A.C WERE INFLUENCED BY THE BEACH BOYS, THE BEACH BOY DUDES COULD NOT MIRROR WHAT THE S.A.C WERE ABOUT! AS FOR THE IMPORT CD OF INCENSE & PEPPERMINTS, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THERE ARE LYRICS INCLUDED IN THE INSERT AND THESE JAPANESE IMPORTS HAVE INCORRECT AND SOMETIMES ASININE INTERPRETATIONS OF WHAT "THEY" THINK THE LYRICS ARE. THEY DO A SUPERB JOB IN THE SOUND REPRODUCTION AND PACKAGING, BUT THEY ARE FOOLISH AS TO NOT GO THE EXTRA MILE TO OBTAIN THE CORRECT LYRICS TO THESE SONGS FROM THE PUBLISHER. A DOMESTIC CD REISSUE, FAITHFUL TO THE ORIGINAL ALBUM, ON UNI/MCA WOULD BE IDEAL, BUT IT WILL PROBABLY NEVER BE ISSUED HERE. IMPORTS ARE IMPORTS FOR A REASON. WITHOUT A DOUBT ONE OF THE TOP 10 U.S PSYCH LP'S RELEASED BACK IN 67'."
Best 10 Alarm Clock Songs on one Record.

"This still is on my top 10 list of favourite albums.10 dynamite songs that literally flow together. Their famous eight minute plus 'jam tune ': " The Worlds' On Fire", will blow away anyone who likes the music of that era! However my review may be censored, as I am going to record my record album,(vinyl), of this one on to a CD format, as I have looked after it well and it is still good quality! Reason being. I buy some Japanese imports, and love the fact that the Japanese are leaders at getting this ' obscure ' stuff out there for us, but I'll only consider buying a CD like this;(10 or 11),cuts for $25.00 Canadian or less. That price just kills it for me, even though this is my most sought after album - to - CD wishlist item! - Ron ' Rock ' Larocque,Orleans,On."
Awesome debut psychedelic 1967 LP/CD

"put it up against The Beatles Sgt. Pepper & it is too close of a call which is better.. This CD is named after their #1 smash hit & the rest of the CD is an absolute psychedelic dreamland.. I waited 16 years for it to come out on CD & it was well worth the wait"
