The Index, a psychedelic band from Grosse Point, Michigan, had a brief life and released only two albums a few months apart, establishing themselves during that time on the Detroit scene. This album is generally referred to as 'The Black Label Album.' The record features two very personal covers, one by the Byrds ('Eight Miles High') and one by the Supremes ('You Keep Me Hangin' On'), but in practice, we are not dealing with a group that played in a conventional way for the time. The garage spirit and a marked penchant for noise, as well as experimentalism that might remind one of that crazy guy Michael Yonkers, make this record a small, raw splinter that went wild in the landscape of psychedelic music in the USA at the end of the sixties.
