Records like this exert a strange hold on me and have an invigorating effect on me while they're on the turntable. It begs a lot of questions. Why is the album sleeve so pink.. What became of the chap on the left. Leaning on the painting of the lady painting the mandolin, and why is he gazing shiftily at the camera. What exactly are the band referring to when they talk about their mojo ? Is it working yet? Probably not .
With a band like The Shadows of Knight their mojo is never working. They have to complain about something. They are all 18 to 20. The age of Punk Complaint . Or at least they were when they made the record in 1966. They are Chicago High School graduates oddly. At least they were. But School's Out forever here. They are Out of Sight !''
