  1. Not bad, but "Bad Trip" is a complete rip-off of The Beatles "Get back", from the beat, to the melody, even the structure of the lyrics. WOW, it's a good thing for this band that they were never brought before a copyright lawsuit.

  2. I think they were pretty good actually, and yes, VERY influenced by the Beatles but hey, at least they wrote their own songs, not like say that ep from The Thunderbirds that you commented on, they just released covers (mainly) without crediting the source which was common practice all over Asia those day, I mean... Nancy Sit? Rita Chao? And so many others, and I'm glad for it, all these amazing covers to listen, all that great garage music etc., imagine if they would've cowered in fear for copyright law suits as it is nowadays!
