Great 60's Esoterica

"This band played around Phoenix, AZ during the late 60's, and had a kind of Bay Area feel to their groove. I own the same album and bought it when it was first released. All of the songs still hold up pretty well. Some of the songs sound a bit like Buffalo Springfield with hints of Jefferson Airplane, but their sound was really all their own. They were part of the music scene that eventually produced Alice Cooper and the Tubes. Superfine Dandelion was a precursor to these groups, as were Phoenix area bands like Warren S. Richardson, Beans (later to become the Tubes), and The Nazz, (later to become Alice Cooper) I always liked the Superfine Dandelion, Warren S. Richardson, Beans, and The Nazz better than their later, more gimmicky, transformations. This album really contains the flavor of the era. Highly recommended."

Great Garage Rock band of the 60's

"the Dandelinon rule when it comes to representing what the 60's were all about. Fun songs sung by Mike McFadden and Mike Collins. McFadden is a gifted singer songwriter in the vain of a young Brian Wilson. A true visionary and talened veteren of the Arizona music scene. Guitarist Ed Black ( passed away to soon) is very tasteful lead player and BG vocalist.

Bass player Rick (Gator) Anderson also fabulous and later went on to play with the Tubes a band that also enjoyed some minor sucess

in the 70's and early 80's.

If you have not had a chance to give this vinyl gem a listen a strongly suggest you find it on the web and add it to your collection."
