One of the finest examples of the beat-bands-go-bonkers syndrome, 'Snakes And Hi-Fi's' was released on the German Star-Club label in mid-1967 by exiled British group The Hi-Fi's. Long established as an expensive, highly sought-after rarity on the worldwide beat/psych collectors market, this first-ever, band-authorised reissue is bolstered by no less than fourteen bonus tracks (many previously unreleased) from the same timeframe. With extensive liner notes and some fabulous previously unpublished photos, this is the definitive release of a wonderful album, recorded in those exciting days that beat was developing into psychedelia.TRACKS:1.Tread Softly For The Sleepers2.Here I Stand3.Snakes And Ladders4.Grade A Girl5.Whats A Bulb6.Calorie Ann7.Up And Over8.Odd Man Out9.Im A Box10.Youre Haunting Me11.Uwe Aus Duisberg12.My Cards Numbered 1713.No Two WaysBONUS TRACKS:14.London Look15.McKillroy Is Watching You16.Im Not Ready For You Yet*17.Heaven Knows*18.Yellow Submarine*19.Mickeys Monkey*20.God Only Knows*21.In The Midnight Hour*22.Summer In The City*23.I Get Around*24.Im A Box (mono single mix)25.No Two Ways (mono single mix)26.Snakes And Ladders (mono single mix)27.Tread Softly For The Sleepers (mono single mix)* previously unreleased
