Another day, another Hair LP.
The Boston were a young beat combo hailing from a variety of different places - England, Ireland (yay! - Dublin and Dungarvan to be exact), Egypt and Sweden.
They play a energetic style of freakbeat best illustrated on I Got Life with its staccato wordplay and Walking In Space where Berkeley Wright drums with passionate naivety.
The take of Be-In is one of the more hypnotic versions out there. Out there being appropriate while 3500 gets a welcome airing - suitably dramatic with a psych edge.
The Swedish teenager Eva takes the vocals for Frank Mills and gives the song a more melancholy air than usual.
Overall, a most enjoyable entry in the Hair canon.
Comments and feedback are welcome.
