Although never achieving the success they deserved, the End are best remembered for their 

Bill Wyman-produced psychedelic-pop that was a masterful mixture of swirling, dream-like numbers, 

and flowery, but never twee, pop. Their Introspection album is now viewed as one of the finest examples

of British psychedelia. Dave Brown and Colin Giffin formed the End in 1965 

following the demise of beat group the Innocents

Although Introspection bombed due to a belated release, collectors have since heralded it 

as one of the finest albums from the brief British psychedelic wave. 

Produced by Rolling Stone Bill Wyman in early 1968, the spirit of the era (or maybe that 

of the previous summer) is sonically created, with sumptuous results. Giffin and Graham's gentle 

harmony vocals tread a similar path to Odessey and Oracle-era Zombies, 

while sessionman Nicky Hopkins' harpsichord, a pumping Hammond, Terry Taylor's searing 

Cream-like fuzztone guitar leads, psychedelic duel-ragas, and floating Mellotron recreate 

the colors of a rainbow. The overall effect is psych-pop rather than acid-inspired mayhem, 

although the drifting ambience of the production, lyricism, and instrumentation 

could not be anything else than a product of psychedelia. A majority of the numbers were 

clearly influenced by the Satanic Majesties' Request sessions that Wyman had been undertaking

-- and indeed Wyman co-wrote two songs -- although the the End's more commercial pop edge 

forges a sound distant from the Rolling Stones. With an abundance of moods, tones, 

and a gloriously over the top production, 

Introspection is a superb period piece, and rightfully deserves it's near-classic status...(AllMusic)
