Review
<p>Reissue on CD of debut album from 1971 of one of the best Australian psych rock bands. A great example of the latter-'60s psychedelic rock becoming the progressive rock of the early '70s, Melbourne's spectrum was at the forefront of the Australian response. Originally released on Harvest this is a prime example of innovative long roamingprogressive/psychedelic rock along the lines of post-Syd Barrett Pink Floyd or more obscure bands like Secondhand. "Superbody" is a hilariously stoned look at Superman, while "Make Your Stash" is pure underground genius. Contains their Australian number one single "I'll Be Gone" and one other track as a bonus.</p>
