For more on the band please check rear notes below or post on their debute LP "Genesis" https://monolover.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-godsgenesis-sx-6286-68-uk-mono.html . This compilation was a much welcome addition for me as I for the first time got four former 45 only tracks on LP - the 1968 flip side "Somehwere In The Street", the 1969 A-side "Maria" and the whole "Hey Bulldog"/Real Love Guaranteed" single - all in original mono. There are also six stereo cuts from the debute and five from the following "To Samuel A Son". So a rather fullfilling exposé over a band that only existed a couple of years, before its core first was transformed into Toe Fat and somewhat later making success as Uriah Heep. Even better if the compilers somehow had got access to the 1967 Polydor "Come On Down To My Boat Baby"/"Garage Man" single, which then included Mick Taylor on guitars, but you can't have everything and it is a very good chunk of rock history even without. Audio comes somewhat dense, but enjoyable still. Hard to pick favorites from such a rewarding musical excavation, but why not "Hey Bulldog", since odd Beatles covers always tickles me. This also saw 1976 issues in UK (Harvest SHSM 2011) and Japan (EMI EMS-80789). French 1989 reissue on C5 Records (C5 537) with other front sleeve design. To my knowledge never released like this on CD. Premiere US had label as shown here in a fully laminated cover. (ÖRHÄ*)
