Previously unavailable on a standalone CD, now featuring extra bonus tracks of home demos and alternate versions! This Kentish quartet have been kicking out keen psych-pop nuggets since 2010, over the course of four albums and several 45s.

Vocalist/guitarist/songwriter Allan Crockford's illustrious past and parallel present, as bassist with a roll call of the greatest British bands of the past 30+ years - The Prisoners, The James Taylor Quartet, The Prime Movers, The Solarflares, Graham Day & The Forefathers is well-known among friends of 60s psych-pop, mod and garage treats.

The Galileo 7 are a hell of a combo. This, their fifth album (counting the scorching "Live-o-Graphic" set), sounds like the work of a quartet of twenty-somethings - it's high-energy, psychedelic garage rock'n'roll, replete with catchy, memorable tunes, seriously gnarly guitar, darkly humourous lyrics, four-part harmonies, Viv's searing organ, Paul's pin-point bass work and gloriously crash, bang, wallop drums, in a Keith Moon meets Thom Mooney (The Nazz) vein.

It stands should-to-shoulder with such footlong Medway classics as The Prisoners' "The Last Forefathers" and The Milkshakes' "After School Session" - it's just so right! For those fans of 1960s psych, beat and garage who, mystifyingly, haven't investigated The Galileo 7 until now, you're in for a helluva treat!
