Review:

Shindig Annual No.2 has some great, lovingly written and researched overviews of Moby Grape and the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band among several others. --Buzz magazine

Johnny Black timelines San Francisco 1965-67 with eyewitness accounts, uber fan Tim Forster traces the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band's highs and lows over 22 pages, Dukes Of Stratosphear pick their fave US psych singles (Yardbirds, Pink Floyd and Traffic 45s a must) and the US Charlatans talk strip clubs and throwing ashtrays at punters. This second compendium from the Shindig! stable, ornamented with rare pics of cult heroes and psych poster reprints, is every bit as fab as the first. Also out, Shindig! Psychotic Reaction: The US '60s Garage Explosion with exhaustive features on The Sonics, The Standells, Count Five and more. --Mojo magazine

Shindig Annual No.2 is really good, tells you everything you need to know about the San Francisco scene in that period. It's an attractive looking book with great photos, I would recommend it. --BBC Radio Merseyside
