What appears to be the entire recorrded legacy of the sixties editions of a legendary Melbourne band.
Hughesy's assessment: Take both sides of the four Festival singles and there's not quite enough to fill out an album. One was, according to rumour, in the works circa 1968, but the details remain murky.
The A-Sides of the singles hiold up well close to fifty years later, the B-sides are universally solid (at least) and the rest? Of archival or rest, at least. Mileages will vary, but if that's all there is, that's all there is. Interesting.
