reviews
“Jeremy Braddock has done absolutely astonishing work in putting together this history of the group, how it leveraged the technology of the moment in real time (as it was released), and all the obscure references and connections in it from history, current affairs, and pop culture. An enormous achievement.”
David Wineberg's The Straight Dope
“not just a welcome publication, it’s a significant addition to the literature […] of the Long Sixties.”
“a more compelling book of this kind could hardly be imaginable”
“tremendously informative and enjoyable … to apprehend the richness of those […] psychedelic assaults on the senses and on the idiocracy of its times, you will need to read the book and listen to the recordings”
". . . perceptive and well grounded. Braddock delivers his analysis with clarity, precision, and, as the title suggests, at least a dose of humour."
"This book argues for Firesign’s spot in the canon of classic comedy troupes and album-makers, if only for how it also used technology creatively, brought back Surrealism, and briefly made literate comedy popular."
