Rating: - Very Enjoyable
As usual, I picked this CD up on a chance, after hearing The Action, just to see what it was like. I have to agree with the review of Mike Reed, it is really a good little album and it gets a lot of play at our clubhouse here in St. Louis.

Originally released in 1969, Mighty Baby apparently had several members (most,in fact) formed this band from The Action. Basically decent British psychedelia.

The songs run in the 4-6 minute range, which provides ... Read More
Rating: - Forgotten english acid-rock jewel
This has to be one of the best examples of brit acid rock there is. The opener "Egyptian Tomb" shows the band in a nutshell: fluid guitar work, tight sax comp, cool interplay. A classic! And almost all of the songs are long stoned acid jams. They are simply so good at this, especially the guitar plays like an acid dream. And the singer has a high and nasal voice. The band plays tight, incredible improvisations. If you like the late 60's acid rock sound, this is your album. Like the late ... Read More
