Bluekicks simply love 14 Iced Bears. Just wanted you to know that and to tell you that Bluekicks debutsingle 'Louise' now is uploaded on our myspace. If you have the time it'd be fun if you checked it out!
hi guys - great to hear all this stuff again - sometimes come across outtakes etc in the piles of tapes in my barn - remember mixing with the oilwheels and all the amyl? Amazing we ever got a result really isnt it?!
Hope more people get a chance to hear the stuff - perhaps drifting onto your myspace owing to the 'wonder of coincidence'....as i seem to remember commenting in a moment of erudition that ended up on the front cover...
Great to see 'Moths' up here. Strangely enough, I was listening to that tune from my trusty old vinyl copy just last night - nice to see it here in 'modern' MP3 format!
why wasn't "Wonder" a huge hit album? - its still one of my favourite psychedelic albums ever - way better than anything the Rain Parade did (and yeah, I like them too)
