This Adelaide group started as a beat band and released fifteen singles and two albums. Their second longplayer was highly regarded as a psychedelic masterpiece but hopelessly unsuccessful. This 28 track CD is an overview of their career and it shows that they were competent in every "Way They Played" (Raven RVCD-03 / 1989). The beat styled "If She Finds Out" and "Bad Boy" as well as the cover of the Mod raver "Sorry She's Mine" were cool renditions of the mid-sixties era. With "9.50" they picked up the mood of "Paperback Writer" but their psychedelic offerings are the main reason to give this record a try. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!Tracklist:
