I'm quite familiar with a lot of their material from 1967-1970, plus the later early 70s singles.
I grew up with those albums from that period coming through the family home.
I don't know what it is, but they've always had some strange attraction.

Of course, this totally disappeared in the late seventies and lasted about ten years (same with most 'old' UK 'underground' music).

A real guilty pleasure.......but why feel guilty after all?

I liked the fact that they looked quite pristine and dorkish too (btw- good description of the barber shop window models from Ian B)

I remember seeing them doing "Just a Singer in a Rock and Roll Band" on TOTP and they had a proto electric drum kit!

....and this earlier clip is priceless (a great cover of this song was done by Bongwater too!)....
