"It is with great pleasure that we bring to you Sweden's pop pioneers with this their second album of garage/psych beat pop Ellpee. Originally released on Decca in 1966 and now... you guessed it... highly sought after. At home in Sweden there was no mistaking their name or their popularity. The Mascots took part in many of the big performances of the mid-'60s, supporting the Who, Chuck Berry, the Moody Blues, the Hollies, PJ Proby, and the Dave Clark Five, as well as appearing in movies, making guest appearances on TV programs for young people, and recording soundtracks . This is a great album. The influences are there for all to hear as was the case with most of the European bands of the time... but garage/psych it was... and still is. The Beatles coming to mind but that's just the start of it."
