Side one is 4 songs about how groovy Washinton apples were and those songs were recorded as radio ads. The company then decided to let the group complete an albums worth of music and then handed out the records at the growers conference. Side two is a wonderful west coast psych effort with fuzz, efx, and female vocals. Talk about a period piece!

Stand-out track is the closer Ode to Cory; complete with thunderstorm effects, squealing guitar and a dirge of like tempo, this one sounds like it was torn out of some aciditripping San Francisco's band's catalogue.

TRACKS: FRESH COUNTRY APPLES, APPLECORE-BALTIMORE, LITTLE GREEN APPLES, COLUSA COUNTRY TREES, SUNLIGHT, SUMMERTIME, BLUES FOR J, ANOTHER DAY, ODE TO CORY
