Despite the long and goofy title, this brings together 27 tracks of '60s instrumentals from the psychedelic garage rock side of the equation.

Most of the loose jams aboard take a big page from the rave-up style of the Yardbirds, and many of the tracks remind one of the climax to their arrangement of "I'm a Man."
