...super nice drawin together o' th'4 reprise albums plus a disk o' unreleased gubbins in th'shape o' th'demos they did for atlantic recs'n th'first lp(tenderness...) in mono...these latter day fugnations're often overlooked in favour o' th'ESP-Disk work'n thats a fair state o' affairs cos th'first two LPs're some exquisite offerins o' underground beatnik folk slop o' th'highest order, but th'reprise goodies're great basement style rock poetry that stands tall in th'annals o' pop hedonism...like th'modal rounders whom they worked with sometimes their sound is a complete extension o' their enviroment'n social thinkin, heavily dosed with reefer'n amphetamine plus copius opiates...scads o'squelchy beat lyricism set against some twangin garage riffin'n R&B/jazzbo boppin, these cats hung out in th'dingy recesses o'mind altered karmic states...dig th'grooves as they bypass th'psychedelic teenage generation'n stay in th'back alleys o'urban slums on th'watch for vice agents'n finx ready to stop their message gettin to th'consumer populace...dig th'pentagon bein levitated'n exorcised o' th'evil that dwells within, dance in johnsons land'n wallow in th'squoosh'n smoke a little dope...hang out with th'slum goddess'n th'belle from avenue A'n know theres more grope needed...from th'peace eye bookshop to th'world, not bad for some ol'beats from th'rainsoaked sidewalks o' th'decayin land o'no hope...
