16 New Zealand freakbeat nuggets from 1966 to 1968. Redux 25th Anniversary Wild Things collection of out of control, filthy & fuzzy mayhem from the 'bottom' of the world (Just ask Keith Richards & Viv Prince - both NZ tourists in 1965) Kiwi teens out 'prettying' the Pretty Things with the Mod-ish ferocity of The Who and strong doses of Beck & Pageish raveups. Armed with locally manufactured guitars and amplifiers through home made made fuzz boxes. these 16 skull busting mashers were recorded under basic conditions in primitive studios. All in mono, transferred from master tape. Compiled by John Baker. Comes with liner notes.
