here's the review from Joynson's psych reference
"Dreams, Fantasies & Nightmares" on the groups 2 LPs:
Their best known song was Golden Girl and their albums which were an amalgam
of pop and psychedelia, are both now sought-after by collectors. The first is decidedly
patchy with more rubbishy pop songs than expected (I Still Can Hear You Laughing,
Black Potato and Can I Squeeze?). Golden Girl is a straight-forward but competent
pop song and was their most successful 45. The album does contain three tracks
which are of interest; Rising Of The Sun, a gentle laid back number with a psych-pop ending;
the rather unusual The Crushing Hand Of Mother, notable for its tempo changes
and psychedelic guitar work and the magnum opus The Energy Ritual, a four part
pop-psych potpourri, strongly influenced in places by the Sergeant Pepper era Beatles.
The Give Us Back Elaine! album has nothing to match The Energy Ritual,
the final track There's So Many Things comes closest culminating in a sort of guitar freakout,
but it is the more consistent of the two and musically a progression on the first.
There are a few plain pop offerings like Candy, Too Bad and Why Am I Lonely, but much
of the pop-based material on tracks like Here's Your Mourning, Nowhere To Ride,
Put It Down To Magic and Please Set Me Free veers towards psychedelia or
on a few tracks snippets of weirdness. Quite an interesting album.
