The Misunderstood - Before the Dream Faded
The first half is heady, frenetic and inventive psychedelia that would surely have made them famous in 1966 had they not been continually dogged by bad luck, not to mention the nomadic continent-hopping various members were forced to undertake in order to evade the draft. The second half is slightly more generic rhythm'n'blues / garage band stuff but still with enough flashes of greatness to make it worth listening to.


I absolutely fuckin' love that album! There's a very interesting back-story about their relationship with John Peel - how he found, funded, housed and championed The Misunderstood from the first moment he heard them in a Mall in (I think) Houston or Dallas. My memory is hazy, but I do know the entire band turned up on JPs doorstep in London and he managed them for while.

Someone put me straight if I've got that wrong. Need to re-read Margrave of the Marshes to be sure.
