Misunderstood
Let Me Take You To The Sun

OP Magazine, K-1982, page 39:

Here's one for the books...the Misunderstood was a psychedelic American band who went to England to seek fame and released a number of records that went nowhere. If I didn't know anything about them, I'd say they were from the British art-school scene that spawned a whole legion of pop bands during the psychedelic era. Their sound is much like the Who at their most obscure or the Move at their most bizarre. Strange string utterances, made on a steel guitar, swoop and screech all over the place while the rest of the band pound a beat stolen from the Pebbles bands. For second phase British Invasion freaks and collectors of obscure dementia.
