★★★★
This is an excellent four-CD set by the doyens of the ’60s counterculture the trailblazers of political heavy rock.
Their 1969 debut album Wasa Wasa was cut for EMI’s underground label Harvest.
Nary a gig ended without mass chanting of Out Demons Out started by the The Fugs who carried out an exorcism of the Pentagon in 1967.
Fights and vandalism broke out at some student union gigs and Tony Blackburn made their Hotel Room 1971 single his record of the week.
The four album’s include Bandages (NEMS), Live Hits Harder (BB Records), Parlez Vous English (Babylon) and Superchip The Final Solution (Telex Records).
