Bulldog Breed's sole album is a difficult album for me to get my arms around. It starts off in a fine psychedelic rock manner, but it's sporadic overall with the style brush. With 14 tracks, there's no shortage of at-bats, as they definitely took a lot of swings at the plate. There's some blues, freakbeat, jazz, whimsical pop, folk, and more psych. Their heritage includes groups like Please, Gun, and later T2. The album would have fit better for the Swinging London mod scene of 1966 and '67 rather than the edgier year of 1969. Which explains why it didn't sell well to begin with, and like most albums that suffered a similar fate, is now consider a highly collectable rarity. My best picks would include A1, A3, A7, B2, B3, B4, B6, B7. The last track is my favorite overall.
Ownership: CD: 2004 Lion / Acme. Jewel case. Nice reissue that includes their rare 45 single. Informative liner notes as well.
