Combines the contents of both LPs issued on the Cicadelic label in the mid-'80s (Crystal Pure and Second Album) onto one CD, making this indeed the definitive collection. Almost all of their known tapes, covering both their searing electric garage/psych and softer, acoustic garage/folk sides. Dating from 1967 and 1968, this features a lot of original material that the band recorded in Chicago studios, as well as some drummerless home demos.
These are endearing (and still moving) relics of an age of great exuberance, innocence, and hope. Good harmonies on the psychedelic ballads, which have been described as "garage-band Donovan." One of the best reissues of unknown '60s garage/psychedelic music. (Richie Unterberger, allmusic.com)
Richie Unterberger is definitely right when he describes this compilation of the band as one of the best re-releases of unknown 60s garage/psychodel music. The band certainly deserved more attention, but only achieved regional success in Chicago and the surrounding area. However, it can be said that the band had a great influence on the development of psychedelic pop in Illinois, although they did not record an album in the sixties and disbanded in the summer of 1969.
Her only release was '67 the single ' I Live In The Springtime/Listen Girl''. When interest in psychedelic music returned in the late 1980s, the band's popularity was still so great that they released Crystal Pure in 1985 and The Second Album a year later. The albums included almost all of the band's home recordings and the demos produced at RCA Studios. Both albums are included in this collection. Enjoy(Frank)
