Synopsis

Album Description

Octopus's sole 1969 long-player Restless Night is something of a treasure among '60s Brit-psych fans due to its mixture of proto-progressive riffs, accomplished pop tunes and sparkling Beatlesque flourishes. So here it is pop pickers, for the first time EVER, the original version of the Octopus album as the band intended... containing two previously unheard (and uniformly excellent) tunes plus the usual plethora of previously unreleased bonus tracks, single sides, demos and even a mind-blowing contemporary live recording of Grieg's "Peer Gynt Suite"! You better believe it daddio! Our edition also features new and extensive liner notes telling the full-on story of Octopus and the last days of The Cortinas as they morphed from provincial beat favorites into psychedelic warriors.

CD Reviews

A good heavy album....funny cover though

Barry P. Saranchuk | Moosic, PA United States | 06/06/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Yeah,this should be heard by more fans of heavy (almost psych) from the late 1960's! It straddles a few genres,but over all in this funny cover,lies a great album with many cool songs and ideas.

Don't let the funky octopus chick scare ya! This was a cool listen."

Octopus..... far-out man

"if you like late 60's pop-psych music this is a treat. a little pricey but with all the extra songs it's like 2 cd's in one. the cover is so awesome. if you like this,try[the pretty things]. another awesome over looked late 60's english group. peace/bush hog"
