  • review: [negative] Olzak 1975: "if this bunch were hitting the circuit as unknowns today, they might have a hard go of it ... loose, echoey style that recalled the Dead”. “It’s nothing special at all, really. Yet though the band is unrecorded, the Auditorium was nearly sold out. Such is the drawing power of a star.”
  • review: [positive] Sowa and Michon 1975
