Interesting reading more reviews about these guys. I enjoy “I Read You Like An Open Book” and “Fantasy Island” quite a lot, and I’ve heard the first two songs on Studio but probably need to dive deeper. Excellent review George, though by the looks of it this album I can safely skip!
Oh, finally some Tages. How far away from the Anglo comfort zone are you willing to go? In my quest to explore the murky depths of the 60s rock'n'roll (sensu amplo), I've seen surprisingly nice records pop up from such unlikely places as Venezuela.
Not too far, or else I'll never get a chance to get beyond 1965-66 before I start losing my mental capacities. Also, in my experience nice records that don't break out internationally usually do that for a good reason, though there are unlucky exceptions, of course.

It never hurts to hear anything once, but yes, they don't come into their own really until 1966.
