Haven't heard this collection of Larry's Rebels since 20 years. But once somebody requested it I gave it another try. I knew that this album was pretty good but I forgot HOW good it was. They were from Auckland/New Zealand and released a bunch of 45's plus two albums. Raven collects their best work on one record (Raven Records RVLP-14 / 1983) entitled "Feelin' Good" with a bonus single. If you hear this LP you will agree that this was one of New Zealand's finest psych/pop/freak beat bands. Their covers of Small Faces/Who/Creation songs are first grade and their own songs hold the standard. Recommended.Tracklist:
- I Feel Good
- Mo'reen
- What'cha Gonna Do About It?
- I'll Make You Happy
- It's Not True
