‘Todd Rundgren produced this fine album by a young and exuberant three-guitar band. It rocks with authority, is full of hooks and even gets a bit psychedelic’ – The Acid Archives

‘There are pop-psych elements, elements of Moby Grape and Buffalo Springfield, and hints of Rubber Soul-era Beatles... This is as good as any local group of the era got’ – Endless Trip


Originally known as The Great American Dream, this Philadelphian quintet were local legends who’d opened for The Who, Jefferson Airplane, Santana and many others. Packed with snappy songs and infectious good humor, their sole album was taped in New York’s just-opened Record Plant in the fall of 1969, and marked Todd Rundgren’s debut as producer. Issued in February 1970, it stands as one of the best pop-rock albums of its time, and makes its long-overdue CD debut here.
