Οι Καναδοί British North American Act έβγαλαν μόνο αυτό το αξιολογότατο Lp το 1968 το οποίο μάλλον άδικα πέρασε απαρατήρητο. Για να πω την αλήθεια αγόρασα το δίσκο πριν 20 χρόνια εντελώς τυχαία (ανατύπωση της Antar 7, UK) με ένα διαφορετικό εξώφυλλο (ασπρόμαυρο), με μόνο κριτήριο το έτος της αρχικής του κυκλοφορίας. Ευτυχώς σε μία περίοδο που τα οικονομικά ήταν εντελώς πενιχρά, αποδείχτηκε ότι ήταν μία πάρα πολύ καλή αγορά. Το στυλ της μουσικής των British North American Act αναφέρεται στο παρακάτω κείμενο.
The British North American Act were a 1960's psychedelic band based out of Montreal, Quebec. The group featured five members from various areas of the world (Hungary, England and Canada). This album sounds earlier than it is; it's closer to British Invasion pop, or at least mid-60s Paul Revere & The Raiders-type garage rock, than to late-60s rock. The band's name is quite appropriate. It's a nice little pop album, unpretentious but confident, with consistently good songwriting and singing. Some of it is in a fine dreamy folk-rock mode with lots of reverb and echo and a strong backdrop of organ and choral backing vocals.
Tracks:
1. See How Free
2. Baby Jane Days and Nights
3. Only a Dream
4. Joe Cool
5. World Would Understand
6. I'll Find a Way
7. Just How You Feel
8. Corduroy Coat
9. Give Yourself a Ride
10. If You're Looking for Honey
11. Don't Run Away
12. All the World Is in Your Eyes
