Hi Joel, glad you found the review. Sorry to hear about your Grandad. The Radars were also a good band.
Regards, Kris

The title track may be a little more important than is indicated by the reviews above. I do recall, across the misty decades, that the “phasing” effects made it a huge hit. This point is not appreciated by modern listeners for whom such techniques are old hat.

Also, at the time of release a number by the Fourmyula called “Nature” just barely pipped “Spinning” for the major local music award at the time. “Nature” was, decades later, rated the most important local (New Zealand) song of all time; that “Spinning” came so close to toppling it for the Loxene Golden disk award is significant. \

However I don’t think “Spinning” was an original composition. I do know the same song was covered by a Swedish ABBA precursor called the “Hep Cats” and also by an American group (The Ballroom). Who actually authored it is unknown to me.

Yep, cool cover but false advertising.
Not a mind blowing psych album as the cover would suggest..

Had this LP many years ago and really found it rather weak. Title track is really the only thing worth a listen and that can be found on a handful of comps that focus on Australian/NZ Psych, like Ugly Things 4. Their one other listenable track is a cover of the Fun and Games track “Grooviest Girl In The World.” Apparently, vocalist Barry Leaf impressed Frank Zappa enough for FZ to ask Barry to join his band back in the early ’70s.

Hey man, glad you like it. I have tried the avengers mp3 a bunch of times & I am not getting the pop up option to send any uploads to the editor at all, I don’t know why it isn’t working.
