NotesDigitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1969 album includes bonus tracks. Octopus's sole long-player is something of a treasure among '60s Brit-Psych fans due to it's mixture of proto-Progressive riffs, accomplished pop tunes and sparkling Beatlesque flourishes. So here it is pop pickers, for the first time ever, the original version of the Octopus album as the band intended... containing two previously unheard (and uniformly excellent) tunes plus the usual plethora of previously unreleased bonus tracks, single sides, demos and even a mind-blowing contemporary live recording of Grieg's "Peer Gynt Suite"! You better believe it daddio! Features new and extensive liner notes telling the full-on story of Octopus and the last days of the Cortinas as they morphed from provincial beat favorites into psychedelic warriors. Rev-Ola.
