II bought this album a few months ago and I love it even more now than at first. The standout tracks i consider to be the title track 'Haunted' by Peter Thorogood, both Orange Machine tracks
(superior covers of 'Tomorrow' songs),'Valley of the Shadow of Love' by Tuesday's Children, Consortium's totally OTT 'The day the Train Never Came' and The Onyx 'So sad Inside.'
(superior covers of 'Tomorrow' songs),'Valley of the Shadow of Love' by Tuesday's Children, Consortium's totally OTT 'The day the Train Never Came' and The Onyx 'So sad Inside.'
Out of the 28 tracks i liked 21 very much. It was a revelation to
hear great Psych. tracks by the Tremeloes, and Marmalade!!
the majority of tracks are jolly, whimsical and full of spangled
instrumentation. I was impressed by the two tracks by 'Blonde on Blonde', and pleased to discover from the inner notes that they have a back catalogue available (as do The Rockin' Berries, Marmalade, Episode Six, and The Flying Machine.)
I reccommend anyone who enjoys the silly psych. Beatle songs
of their later years will find a lot to enjoy on this great
compilation..I would also recommend tracking down the 94 same label compilation of 'Paisley Pop' which has other tracks by Anan,The Flying Machine, The Montanas,The Onyx,and Consortium. And if you like Folky rock, i also recommend the superb 'Jingle Jangle Mornings' which has another Montanas track on it, along with lots of other wonderful, quintissentially English, slightly eccentric stuff by other great obscure bands.
Also you may like to check out the 'Tommorrow' CD which has the original (and frankly, not very good) versions of '3 Jolly little dwarfs' on it, and 'Real Life Permanent Dream'. But there
are some really great songs on there also, including 'Your time has Come', 'shy Boy' '10,000 words in a cardboard box' and 'hallucinations' which are about as Beatlesque as you could wish for. And I play these songs again and again, so it must have been worth it!!

Top CD loved it especially the Tuesday's Children stuff! Mr Kiplin being a rare treat among many gems.

3 and a half stars! Good stuff, with some great tracks that may just surprise the Hell out of you - the Tremeloes 'Suddenly Winter' track, as well as Marmalade's 'Kaleidoscope' (check out the US and UK bands by the same name- kaleidoscope)are my personal faves. The opener is also brilliant, as is the finale, the other Tuesday's Children track, and Wicked Annabella (Kinks). Let down I felt (hence 3 and a half stars) by the fact that it seems too plain and normal for my psychedelic tastes - I want my 'psychedelia' more Far Out, trippy, and not just lyrically lysergic! Well, can't have it all I guess - any ideas?

you've got to be with it, man
nice collection - full of nice surprises. i thought that the tracks by some of the sedate mid-sixties "has-beens" like the searchers and the rockin' berries would be fillers - not... Read more
