This essential self titled compilation from the mid seventies acts as a vital bridge between the psychedelic underground of Ladbroke Grove and the raw energy of the burgeoning punk scene. Released as part of the Polydor Special Price Series in 1975 the collection gathers definitive tracks from the bands formative years including the heavy groove of The Snake and the proto punk anthem Do It which famously showcased the dual drum attack of Twink and Russell Hunter.

The cover art utilizes a gritty film strip aesthetic featuring live performance photography that perfectly mirrors the unpolished and rebellious spirit of the UK counterculture era. Fans of Hawkwind and The Deviants will recognize the familiar faces of Paul Rudolph Duncan Sanderson and Larry Wallis whose high energy guitar work and driving basslines defined the freak rock sound of the early seventies. With its inclusion of the cult favorite Pigs Of Uranus—inspired by the underground comic work of Gilbert Shelton—this release remains a significant historical document for collectors of British progressive and hard rock. The publication of this retrospective provided a wider audience with access to the bands most influential Polydor recordings preserving their legacy as the ultimate people band of the festival circuit.
