THE HOOK / HOOKED

1968  UNI  USA 1st PRESS


•••••  LEGENDARY SHREDDING ACID PSYCH.  The highly collectible psych group is totally lit and the guitars are complete fuzz monsters on the slamming "Go" and take off to doomy riffing insanity on the wild extended 6 minute jamming "Son Of Fantasy II" propelled by swirling organ and powerful sample-worthy backbeat. ESSENTIAL PSYCHEDELIA.
