Notes:  Right in the midst of the hippie movement there was a pysch vein running strong. Graceful harmonies, distorted guitars and the scent of patchouli wafting over the pillow strewn room.  Beads and sunglasses and bare feet and paisley. This describes both the cover art and the songs. They came, they saw, they had a hit and then went away. Still a good record today.
