Comments:
The songs on the second album from Tyrannosaurus Rex are generally slightly better than those on the debut, but overall, the finished tight sound you know from the best T Rex albums is fstill far away.
The songs seem in many times sketchy and demo-like and a couple directly silly, as were they recorded by two friends improvising in their room for fun.
Even the best numbers seem unresolved, perhaps with the exception of the catchy "Debora", probably the song that appear most ”produced”.
Among other songs with potential I could mention "Stacey Grove" and "Salamanda Palaganda". Generally too much a time-piece hippie album that hardly shall new fans who did not experience the late 1960s themselves.
