Review

Both sides of their three singles, an alternate take, an unreleased single, and four songs from a live show circa 1966 give us the most thorough document of this obscure Swedish band likely to ever be produced. Walking the thin line between ineptitude and jagged power, it will appeal to specialists with a fondness for punkish mid-'60s Eurobeat, although it doesn't stack up to the genuinely excellent groups in this subgenre, like The Outsiders (from Holland). The kazoo solo on their cover of Gene Vincent's "Git It" and a punk/R&B cover of Gershwin's "It Ain't Necessarily So" rank among said subgenre's most eccentric moments. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi
