The Misunderstood...

For those who don't already know, the Misunderstood were an anglo-american psychedelic-garage band managed by and produced by John Peel. They split in about '68 due to immigration issues, but their sound has become retrospectively recognised. They reformed in the early 1980's and recorded some material on the cherry red label.

Question: Is anyone familiar with recordings by the early 80's line-up? Is the music any good, and more to the point, is it worth buying?

For those who haven't heard of the original band, check  or http://www.themisunderstood.com/band.html includes downloads. May be a bit raw for some, but check out the guitar on "I unseen" and "children of the sun"...

If you like The Misunderstood you should try High Tide. Tony Hill of the Misunderstood formed them in 1969.
