When I was just a kiddy boo boo I picked up Utopia's "Deface the Music" mostly because of the album cover that was reminiscent of The Beatles. Years later I started to track down Rundgren albums and more and more from Utopia.....until my uncle introduced me to his first real band called The Nazz. I love all of the 3 Nazz albums but the debut is still my favourite of the lot! Psychy and Beatles'esque with a good tinge of Garage Psych (Which I am a huge fan of). The thing that will really surprise you are the great vocal harmonies and excellent melodies this band created. It was a time of exploration musically and this album rises to the top of the US 60's psych albums for me. Essential album !
