"This self-titled album by The Growing Concern first saw the light of day in 1968 on Bob Shad's Mainstream label.
Shad who worked for Mercury, Savoy, and Emarcy in the 50's, working with the likes of Sarah Vaughan,
Blue Mitchell, Curtis Fuller had the fortune to sigh the then-unknown Janis Joplin.
The Growing Concern band was a different composition with its emphasis on beautiful vocal harmonies and fantastic guitar work. The album, which is brilliantly recorded, is of consistantly high musical quality."
"Fantastic ringing acid guitar work with male/female vocal duets that swoop and dive over a strong acid folk/rock backing. Essential for the US '60s fanatic."
"Musically, the sound is probably one of the best mixtures of folk rock melodies with plenty of fuzz guitar and waves of reverb courtesy of Guerino. Check out his meltdown performance on "Other Side of Life.'"
"One of the few LPs we'll come right out and say is a "must own" for psychedelic pop fans."
