If you claim to have any love for sixties psych and prog its roots, you simply can't ignore this great second album
Spooky Tooth. Psychedelic rock with soul and stunning performances by Mike Harrison, whoes voice is one of the
better of the psychedelic movement. All songs on this album are great, but organ-driven opening track 'Waiting for
the wind', the extended 'Evil Woman', the epic "Lost in a dream' and the cover 'Better by you, better then me' stand
out. Furthermore, the album has a nice sixties sound with only minor flaws in the production (a few pitch
anomalies). When people visit you when you play this record even the silliest among them will recognise this as
being 'pure rock'. I can also warmly recommend the less adventerious but nice 'The Last Puff'. Four stars.
