One of the essential albums of '60s American garage punk, The Seeds' 1966 debut is much more than simply the home of two of the band's biggest songs. Recorded before "Pushin' Too Hard" and "Can't Seem To Make You Mine" became hits, the album already had the band's wonderfully distinctive sound fully in place.

Sky Saxon's sneering vocals, Daryl Hooper's keyboards, primitive guitar riffs and relentlessly simple rhythms turn the band's mix of rock'n'roll, R&B and garage punk into something immediately recognisable. Alongside the classics are gems like "No Escape", "Evil Hoodoo" and "Excuse, Excuse", making this a genuinely strong album rather than a couple of singles surrounded by filler.

This Ace/Big Beat edition presents "The Seeds" in its original mono mix, newly mastered and with the original artwork faithfully reproduced. Includes extensive liner notes by Seeds archivist Alec Palao.

A cornerstone of mid-'60s US garage punk, finally given a proper standalone mono reissue.
