Searing work from this legendary group – and a set that stands as a stunning tribute to the raw power of the Northwest scene at its best! Don & The Goodtimes cut some material later that was a bit more produced in the studio – but much of the music here is raw, raunchy, and very garagey – the sorts of cuts that would have the group playing non-stop parties on the coastal scene that would go way into the wee hours of the night – all with a hard-burning sense of energy that matches famous scenemates like The Sonics, Wailers, and Kingsmen – the last of whom had ties to the group. The group pick up a bit of Cali pop as the tunes move on, but still keep that dark edge that makes them so great – a vibe that hardly seems to be promising good times at all – as you'll hear on cuts that include "The Witch", "Jolly Green Giant", "You Were Just A Child", "Straight Scepter", "Blue Turns To Grey", "Hey There Mary Mae", "Little Sally Tease", "Tall Cool One", "Long Green", "Make It", and "You Did It Before".

A pivotal record in the sound of the US scene at the end of the 60s – and a record that seems to trace an entire evolution in rock during the space of just one album! Touch have roots that go back to The Kingsmen and Don & The Goodtimes – and you can definitely hear garage elements in the organ and guitars – but they're also stretching out freely in all the heady freedoms of the late 60s – with a soaring approach that definitely lives up to the cover image! There's a blend of rough and rootsy with confident and cosmic going on – a really powerful approach that's made the album a standout for years, even if the group never hit some of the fame of their bigger contemporaries. Titles include "We Feel Fine", "Friendly Birds", "Down At Circe's Place", "The Spiritual Death Of Howard Greer", and "Seventy Five". LP, Vinyl record album
