IF  THERE IS ONE ALBUM THAT IS A MUST FOR YOUR VINYL COLLECTION, THIS IS THE ONE, AND TO SEE HOW CRAZY HE IS I HAVE QUOTED OFF THE ALBUM COVER "at first-with Arthur Brown being-lowered by crane on to the stage-it looked like being just another piece of zaniness. But once Brown began his staccato dancing, his face concealed inside a glistening helmet and visor, a saffron robe floating from his shoulders, one became aware of a uniqueness. He belongs to a tradition which goes beyond music hall, right back to Mummers' plays. Yet there is a sinister element, too, and one which recalls the smell of seaweed and the rattle of spades and pails. For somehow Arthur Brown contrives to be both the malevolent punch and-in drag, with grotesque wig and flowered gown-a psychedelic Judy. The effect is disquieting, especially when joined to the singing-fastish blues, and sung exceptionally well, with a voice that can swoop and screech and flutter. So far the Hippies have done little except to opt smugness instead of hypocrisy. Arthur Brown could easily be the first genuine artist to come out of our local underground. He's disconcerting, even faintly perverse, but distinctly original and very English."
