Once again my ability to pick nuggets of gold out of the bargain bin has proven itself to be quite prodigious. But seriously, this record was actually a pretty good find. I bought it because the band's name is weird and it's a really pretty color of blue marble. I love blue marble. I didn't expect this to be any good, but it turns out The Creatures of the Golden Dawn play a sort of throwback 60's garage punk. I say throwback because they got their start in the late 80's or early 90's it seems. Information about them is somewhat sparse and tends to always be a footnote to the singer's later career.

Were the recording quality of this not as good I think one could be forgiven for mistaking this record as being from the 60's. It's got that simple poppy rock and roll song structure that every one hit wonder from that decade seems to have had. But with a slightly less polished feel. In many ways like very very early punk rock, from before anyone called it that. Except Creatures of the Golden Dawn was apparently riding the trailing edge of a wave of a revival of that style.
