"Savage's choices not only underline how rich and vast the spectrum that pop occupied was, but - thanks to an inspired running order - underline how fragmented it had become in no time at all. It could equally be seen as the year that the term "pop" became a little meaningless. Who cares when it's this good?".

"On his latest entertaining 2CD survey of Sixties pop, Jon Savage characterises 1967 as the year pop divided ... It's by no means definitive - there's no "Hey Joe", "Whiter Shade", "Itchycoo Park" or "Strawberry Fields Forever" - but there's compensation in the under-exposed early work of such as The Soft Machine and Terry Reid; I, for one, will be eternally grateful for Les Yper Sound's bizarro Gallic oddity "Psyche Rock"".
