of the moments

What if Buffalo Springfield hung in there and kicked ass by 1971? Majorly-touted obscure Belleville, Illinois outfit Spur are the answer to that question of the ages. Spur's lone LP recalls the best of the Blue Things, The Choir, Beau Brummels, or even ye olden Beatles. They represent full-tilt west coast-style psychedelia, pouring on the fuzz with a laidback tunefulness that certainly gives outfits like Quicksilver Messenger Service, Relatively Clean Rivers and the Dead some competition. So yeah, if you're a fan of everything grand in R'n'R, a la The Byrds, Moby Grape, or Flying Burrito Brothers prepare to have your doors blown off."
