 The Rock attitude and way of doing things are something you have to have in your blood, and these five had it to spare!

 This is, in summary, the meteor that sparked the psychedelic light of the entire 1967... one of the most important of the whole `60s garage sound. The entire album and especially the leading single that gives it its title (PSYCHOTIC REACTION) is a great example of psycho beat. Guitars prominently featured, sound hardened compared to many contemporary bands... a CLASSIC.
