It's certainly not the greatest album of all time, but I have so much fun with it, even more knowing that it's just from 1964. I really love this kind of quirky music. And the fact that the drummer was a woman makes them more interesting, at least from a merely human perspective. And you're absolutely right about the resemblance to early Sparks, especially the vocals in certain moments of 'Colour Slide'.
Anyway, I must thank you again for your work. I do know this is not the most obscure band ever, but I don't know what do you do to find all this music, especially when years ago the internet was far more limited. Do you spend time checking every group/artist in the UK and US charts from the fifties onwards or what? Well, I won't judge your more than likely unhealthy customs, you make it much easier for me to enjoy music. Just make sure to take care of yourself.
Well, I certainly enriched my knowledge a lot in the Internet era - now that pretty much everything is within immediate reach, you can make a very quick decision on whether this stuff is worth or not worth investigating. The Honeycombs were certainly unique for 1964, so there was no question here!
