Details:
At last, what fans and critics alike have been asking for: A collection of essential tracks from the legendary California Garage/Psych band's multi-album catalog including: Change Is Gonna Come, Webster Field, Stranger In The Rain, Mr. Right, Only Game In Town, Countdown To Zero and more.

Rolling Stoneâs David Fricke:
âA group of veteran L.A. psych-rock revisionists sharpened their metallic guitar sting and revved up their rhythm engine on Kingdom Day, reaching heights on âWebster Fieldâ and âCountdown To Zero.â

Soundsâ Nigel Cross:
âIf there is an influence hovering over this album, itâs the ghost of the Yardbirds, where Albinâs blues growl is as moody as Howlinâ Relfâs once was. Roger Clay is thus finally free to ignite the new material with his adrenalin pumping, napalm like guitar figures.â

Creemâs Don Waller:
âOn sonic evidence, it was worth the wait. From the spiraling guitar line and cinemascopic solos on âStranger In The Rainâ and the redolence of Webster Fieldâ to the acid-dipped apocalyptic suburban scenarios of âCountdown To Zero,â this album is a solid as the town of Bedrock itself.â

Guitar Worldâs Grant Alden:
âRoger Clay proves himself to be one of the great unknown guitar heroes, burying slashing hooks deep into the flesh of the most honest music to emerge from L.A. since X disintegrated.â

Melody Makerâs Ian Gittins:
âWhile the feel is predominately Sixties, earnest, sweeping vocals and tight hugging rhythms lend a peculiar tense energy, a kind of attractive urgency. These Droogs draw heavily on a whole range of influences to form an approach peculiarly their own; taking from all times.â

CMJ New Music Report:
âThe entire album is top notch, with our faves being âChange Is Gonna Come and âMr. Right.â

LA Timesâ Craig Lee:
âFilled with a subtle sense of foreboding, from the locomotive rhythms and choral chants of âOnly Game In Townâ to âMr. Rightâ whose mournful melodies and protest-rock lyrics recall Dylan. âFor These Remaining Daysâ is reminiscent of those neo-Elizabethan folk ballads the Sunset Strip bands used to go in for. The actual sound is here and now, especially in Roger Clayâs glistening, searing guitar sound.â

Bucketful Of Brainâs Jon Storey:
âThe band always plays it tight and hard, the songs compact, taught and tough, with sinewy melody and a liberal helping of stone cold classics like âOnly Game In Town,â âChange Is Gonna Comeâ and âWebster Fieldâ to name but the most obvious.â

Optionâs Frank Beeson:
âThe melodic-psychedelic guitar of Roger Clay on âStranger In The Rainâ turns the number into one of the groupâs best ever, marking producer Earle Mankeyâs high point.â

Kerrangs Howard Johnson:
"...just about the sweetest slab of insanity you're gonna hear in a long, long time." KKKKK
