"On that vital cusp of 1966/67, it seemed everybody wanted to make their very own Pet Sounds-style masterwork -- and bubblegum-meister Tommy Roe was no exception. Coming off a formidable run of hits, Roe was able to enter the studio with Millennium wunderkind Curt Boettcher and his team (later to become both The Ballroom and Goldenrod) to record It's Now Winter's Day. Bizarrely sounding more like a group effort than a solo album, replete with theremins, fuzz guitar, strings and general psych bendiness, not to mention being entirely composed by Roe, it was a major triumph. The follow-up,Phantasy, upped the ante even further. Here we have both albums, together for the first time, a key piece in the story of the legendary Curt Boettcher and his associates, and a Californian sunshine psych-pop extravaganza in its own right. Beautiful songs, great singing and innovative production. Who could ask for anything more? First official U.K. release of these sunshine psych-pop nuggets! Wonderfully re-mastered in the usual Rev-Ola style! In-depth notes and expansive packaging! A must for any fan of Californian psych pop, sunshine pop, bubblegum, The Millennium, Sagittarius and related classics!"
