STILL FACTORY SEALED ...

Original 1968 first pressing in old style unipack gatefold cover.... One of the best albums by this San Francisco 'head' band ... highlighted with the 14 minute " Protect & Serve/Bad Things" there's a bluesy groove throughout and even trippy sitar injections....this 1968 album from this U.S. (Iowa) outfit who were signed at the same time as Morning Glory, and Savage Resurrection contains the track "Moon Food" which was included on the highly sought sitar psych comp: "Electric Psychedelic Sitar Headswirlers Vol. 1". Musically they played a mixture of psychedelic blues, with rock and jazz injections including more original, ambitious pieces like "Lower Lemons," slightly twisted with avant-garde-tinged complex arrangements, weird lyrics, and novel (for rock) touches.

Nice Rick Griffin (famous 60's S.F. poster artist) lettering on the cover.

• Stephen Miller - organ, vocals

• Dino Long - bass
