...was there ever a record company like saga records, a blatant cheapo cash-in operation who inadvertently put out some stonking real people (studio cats and lounge grafters) creations...whether it be exploito psychedelic bashing like five day straw people and magic mixture or jazz pop rock like dave moses and graham walker the grooves are never less than full on, a heavy ride to the other side of tomorrow...the recording studio was a basement and the production duties went to the office wino who moved whatever knob came within eyesight...swinging london for young marrieds on a budget, a further out proposition than anyone realised, there ain't a bad cut on the whole compilation, something of an acheivement that must be noted for use by civilization yet unborn...
