"One of the chief selling points of this set is the liner notes. Each single is given a brief history, set in context of its musical surroundings, and the stories are fascinating. 1968 jumps off the page with as much excitement as it blares from the speakers. And, as if the slew of bands whose singles were relegated to the forgotten LSD heap of history wasn't enough, many of the tracks here never even saw formal release, for one reason or another being grounded before they even took off. Some of these musicians went on to greater things (Richie Blackmore soloing on Sun Dragon's cover of "So You Want to Be a Rock and Roll Star" being one of only a handful), but most did not.In sum, Looking at Pictures in the Sky is another thrilling and wonderfully engrossing exploration of Britain (and Ireland)'s psychedelic underground of 1968. Let's hope Grapefruit Records keeps this series going and digs up another batch of rarities from 1969".

"... a box set of Brit-psych sounds from that year will unlock the memories. Across its exhaustive three CDs of lysergic post-Revolver ditties, the quality wavers from derivatively twee to genuinely eye-widening. Highlights include I Can Show You by Rupert's People, Boeing Duveen & The Beautiful Shop's bad-trip interpretation of Lewis Carroll's Jabberwock (sic), and the act of studying the accompanying 44-page booklet to avoid thinking about the current nutters with fingers on buttons".
