Below are a couple of reviews of Proto Bohob and a track by track song listing with audio clips:

Here's what Aether-Or Records had to say about Proto Bohob:

"One of our favorite lost US psychedelic folk LPs ever is the original Patron Saints LP, a cheerily twisted New York rarity from 1969 (LP and CD reissues BOTH by the way). This CD offers up 16 previously unreleased tracks from 1969 that represent all the demos and early versions of the original LP tracks and more. Wonderfully unsettling stuff."

And here's what Delerium's The Freak Emporium had to say:

"Patron Saints - Proto Bohob. CD, £13.00. A whole CD of demos from 1969 by this obscure acid guitar folk band from New York. Featuring different versions and different tracks to their scarce "Fohhoh Bohob" album, this a collectors' wet dream."
