wikipedia:
The eponymous debut album. The only one which was recorded by the group’s initial line-up before bassist Ace Kefford left, it includes both sides of their third and fourth singles ('Flowers in the Rain' and 'Fire Brigade').
The album consisted of Roy Wood originals, and three cover versions that had featured prominently in their live set. "Weekend" was an Eddie Cochran song, and "Hey Grandma" had originally been recorded by US psychedelic band Moby Grape. "Zing Went the Strings of My Heart" was an old James F. Hanley standard, with an arrangement copied from The Coasters.
The last track, "Cherry Blossom Clinic", was intended as a single at the end of 1967, and an acetate, with "Vote for Me" (a song which remained unreleased until 1997), was pressed. Release was cancelled, as the lyrics were about the inmate of a mental home, and in the wake of the controversy which had dogged 'Flowers In The Rain', with its promotional postcard featuring an allegedly libellous drawing of Prime Minister Harold Wilson, it was felt that potential further allegations of bad taste and scandal would harm their career irreparably.

Fuzz Acid & Flowers:
The highlight of this Youngstown, Ohio band's otherwise over-rated album is the seventeen-minute title track which is full of acid guitar work and incorporates the group's own arrangement of When Johnny Comes Marching Home. A free poster came with the album which has had a very limited reissue in the States in 1986.
Curiously, on the label of the first single it says both of these songs are "from the L.P. The Last Supper". This was a working title for the album.
Original drummer Paul Cassidy was replaced by Bob LaNave, and a new side was recorded containing the 17 min. The Only Truth. ~ (Mike McKay / Vernon Joynson / George Gell)

Fuzz Acid & Flowers: A late '60s pop-rock supergroup from Los Angeles. David Marks had been with the Beach Boys;
Matthew Moore was with
Matthew Moore Plus Four and did solo work before joining the Mad Dogs; David Jackson came from
Hearts and Flowers and was later with Dillard and Clark; Larry Brown had drummed with
Davie Allen and The Arrows (and no doubt on many other combos behind film soundtracks and those Sidewalk/Tower releases produced by Mike Curb) and would later turn up in Gunhill Road.
Their albums are rated highly by some - not really psychedelic but with psychy touches and imagery, and more pop than rock - their sound has been compared to the Beatles and the Bee Gees from that period. Certainly well-crafted, dare one say, progressive-pop. Almost all material written by the band
(predominantly
Moore), the second album was produced and arranged by
Moore and Brown. Worth investigating if this sounds appealing, especially as the LPs can still be found fairly easily and at reasonable prices.

Line Notes:
THE LIGHT was a dynamic, multi-talented supergroup from California's Inland Empire. Initially trading in both fuzzed-out Music Machine-inspired punk and melodic, Left Banke-style pop, they evolved into an incendiary West Coast psychedelic rock ensemble comparable to the Buffalo Springfield and Moby Grape, but with the dual guitar firepower of the Beck-Page Yardbirds. Turn on THE LIGHT includes their sole 45 release plus 23 dazzling previously unreleased cuts.
