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.

The link are all dead, please kindly reupload it again if you had the time Sir, can't thank you enough by uploading this. It's just, you need to reupload this album ASAP
Thanks o.e., I was just playing my copy of this today and for some strange reason ( given I take super good care of my cds) the last track keeps skipping. So a new issue is appreciated.
Thank you! Great band lead by the underrated Roy Wood. Hope to see more of the 1998 remasters here like 'Looking On' and 'Message From the Country'. Much appreciated!
