The first album by the unlikely pairing of Greek keyboard player Alex Spyropolous and Irish singer Patrick Campbell Lyons, with orchestral arrangements by Sid Dale (Who worked famously with Scott Walker)

The standouts on this Psychedelic fairy tale are the breathtakingly beautiful "Wings of Love" and the uplifting "Satellite Jockey" and Hymn like "Pentecost Hotel" lovingly arranged and produced and entirely locked in their age.

The great aspect of this package is that the mono (and my opinion superior) mixes of the album are included along with the B sides of the original singles taken from this album.

Also included is the demo from this period, the pretty "Life Ain't Easy"

Nirvana after turning in a remarkable debut followed this album with an even stronger effort "All Of Us"

Just bought this reissue after not hearing the album for ten years or so. I was obsessed with it back then and wasn't sure if I'd still like it... Ha! It's even better than I remembered. It's a paradox, in a way the music is very dated, but magically remains utterly timeless and at times, downright futuristic, even the vaudeville jugband romp of "1999"! This is the kind of album that totally gets under your skin... and stays there. All the songs are compact little masterpieces and though they all have a misleadingly simplistic approach to melody and lyrics, (naive and childlike in keeping with classic English psych pop tradition) there's clearly more going on under the surface. A definite edge of slightly sinister surrealistic mystery. Eerie, pretty, super melodic and well, pretty darn well perfect.

This isn't a heavy guitar album and there's no rock'n'roll savagery happening here, but fans of Blossom Toes, The Zombies, Mortimer or even Belle and Sebastian will find themselves cosy and at home with these gentle guys.

The mono mix sounds very punchy and is great to have, and the bonus tracks are all worthy too, especially "I Believe In Magic", which would've fit in really well had it been originally on the LP. Oh go on, just BUY it!

By D. J. H. Thorn TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
From the booming orchestral opening bars of "Wings Of Love" it's easy to place Nirvana's debut in the summer of pop. They only made this sort of music in the late 1960s. Beautiful melodies throughout, a childlike tenor and florid orchestration flow through this album, yet it doesn't sound too saccharine. The first song will hook you, the second is even better. The ten tracks pass fairly quickly, not just because of their quality, but also because they weigh in at a measly twenty-five minutes. Not surprisingly, you get mono and stereo mixes, though one play at a time of any album is enough for me.

Quality is more important than quantity however and here it's presented in concentrated form. There are also four superb bonus tracks. All of these are consistent with the style of the album except for the odd "Requiem For John Coltrane". Thirty-seven minutes of excellence then, plus a twenty-five minute repeat.
