Its about time Tony!
Loved it from the first listen myself. Its up there with Flying In A Blue Dream for me. But then again, Flying isnt all that for everyone either.
Happy to see you finally connected with it.

Thx !
I suppose it's different than any of the other albums in that is covers A LOT of different styles, instead of a more narrowed theme like so many of his catalog.
'Flying' is varied too, but there's a big chunk of hard driving, staples of his style on that one - like more than just a few.
This album is all over the place ... in a good way.
Kind of like a nice new twisty road to the coast ... over the hills, cutting through some thick forest, unexpected hair-pin turns and then open straight-aways too - where you need to utilize all six, manual gears.
Took me a while to appreciate many of the tracks simply because they aren't cookie cut.
I love driving to this one, in the pouring rain or late at night:

It cranks loud in the vehicle without any distortion.
Like mobile-WOPL loud
if there were such a thing ...

Yeah Tony - it is about time.
This is one of his best in my opinion. "A Phase I'm Going Through" rocks and must be played loud. When I first heard this album I was like Ben - loved it.

Yep.
That song really takes me back to the 'Flying' period.
Loud or go home ... no doubt.

Great stuff - the flew under the radar for me back in the 70s except for the Pictures Of Matchstick Men single - which was nothing like most of their stuff.

The Seeds - A Web Of Sound
(1966, Crescendo) MONO
I think I've only seen this Seeds record once before and it was hammered, the others turn up once in awhile but not this one.

Interesting, I have not run across that one in my travels.
When Mr. Farmer started getting radio play, it was a bit of a game changer and I got the 7" immediately on release. Their first LP, which included that song, came a couple of years later - when I could afford to buy albums.
Coincidentally, I found this one in a used record shop today for $6 but one side of the vinyl looked to be in quite bad shape so I passed.
