Title: Flies - 'Complete Collection: 1965-1968' (Acme)
Product review: Twenty-two track collection of The Flies complete repertoire. Best described as underground British psych. Tunes here that I thought make this title a keeper include their take on the Monkees smash hit "(I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone", their pop gem "Talk To Me" (sounds so familiar), "A Hymm... With Love" [with beautiful lyrics], "The Magic Train" - both versions, the catchy "Turning Back The Page", their cover of Chuck Berry's "Rellin' And Rockin'" and the Beatles "Ticket To Ride". Line-up: Robin Hunt - vocals, George Haywood - guitar, Ian Baldwin - bass, John Da Costa (In Sect) - organ & guitar and Peter Dunton (Bulldog Breed, T2, Neon Pearl, Please) - drums. Should appeal to fans of the Primitives, Blues Magoos, Byrds, World Of Oz, T2 and possibly the Five Day Week Straw People.
