A previously unreleased album by The Iveys (later to become known, and to receive much greater acclaim, as Badfinger), this 19-tracker is a raw, psychedelic, garagey early power pop record from a beloved Swansea troupe, whose stint with Apple Records ran alongside that of the Beatles' and followed the same trajectory of hype; six of these demos were at one point sent to Paul McCartney and The Rolling Stones' manager Andrew Oldham. In fact made up entirely of rare demos, not initially intended to make any sort compiled cut, Y&T Music have nonetheless done the golden job of reissuing a Welsh rock n' roll treasure trove here, with 'Gwent Gardens', 'For My Sympathy' and 'Just Look Inside The Cover' standing out among the highlights.
