‘Surely amongst the top 5 so-called acid folk releases of the early 70s… Thompson does wonderful bendy, woozy things with his guitar, never more so than on ‘Her Hair Was Long’, a simply epic acid dervish which gets up and dances all round the room whenever you put it on. But he’s equally brilliant elsewhere’ – Galactic Ramble

Originally issued as the fabled Village Thing label folded in 1973, this has been described as one of the best acid folk albums of the 1970s. Recorded in numerous locations by itinerant New Zealand guitar wizard Thompson (who travelled to the UK as part of Julie Felix’s band), it features guest appearances from Clem Alford and Keshav Sathe (of Magic Carpet renown), and casts a hypnotic spell. It’s presented here in its fullest-ever version, with 16 bonus tracks, rare photos and detailed notes from the man himself.
