"As with Apple itself, this set is all over the place, kind of a mess and utterly fascinating. Grapefruit Records has done its usual top-notch excavation job and has provided an artifact that serves as an educational tract and a compelling listen in equal amounts".

"Good As Gold is really a wonderful box of delights that has been expertly compiled and anointed. You don't have to be an admirer of The Beatles to enjoy it. Hell, if you're just a fan of 1960's and 1970's pop music in general, well, you should really be in heaven here. Even the most steadfast disbeliever may even feel they have to tip the old hat to The Fab Four for at least bankrolling all this greatness. This set is stuffed full of high quality, seldom heard material, which could well leave you wondering how on earth Grapefruit, John Howard, The Fire, The Misunderstood etc missed out on the big time. A collection to love and treasure".

"Good as Gold largely succeeds in telling the story it wants to (even if it wanders a little), and that it opens some rabbit trails should be seen as a benefit. Fans of late 1960s psych-pop should be especially pleased with this one, as will Beatles obsessives, both for the historical exploration and for the related listening joys".
