Reissue of the classic 1967 psychedelic punk album. “A thousand miles of barbed wire starts with the first barb... There I was, cocky and paranoid, yet another anarchist art student teenage asshole, rebel without a clue, too dumb to recognize the impossible but with that burning desire to do it. It was 1967, and all things seemed possible, we wanted the world and we wanted it now. Vietnam was getting ugly and LSD-25 was hitting the headlines. To make Ptooff!, I'd hit up an alcoholic kid millionaire who'd inherited his old man's real estate empire at age seventeen. (He'd later finance an abortive Marxist revolution on the island of Trinidad. After that, his family got together with government and had him locked up in The Big Clinic.) The grand plan was to cut, press, package, and distribute Ptooff! to freaks clear across the planet.” – Mick Farren (extract from his liner notes)
