Although the band is obscure by any standard, the Head Shop is probably the best known and one of the last of the many projects masterminded by Milan, an enigmatic music industry professional who produced and performed on a variety of recordings released in the 1960s. Virtually all of the Milan projects, including the Head Shop are highly sought collectors' items. The album was produced by Milan, and the associate producer is Maxim; they are also listed as the songwriters on the original songs, which include "Listen with a Third Ear", "Heaven Here We Come" and "Prophecy".
One recent reviewer describes the music as "a demented fusion of ’69 era heavy psych and ’66 era garage punk". A promotion of the CD reissue describes the album this way: "This underground New York psychedelic project has a unique sound – soulful vocals, fluid Hammond organ, fuzzy bass, distorted lead guitars, lots of weird percussion instruments, augmented by unexpected stereo effects."
Vinyl is in Near MINT condition and jacket is in VG+ condition (ex-radio station copy, call letters written on back cover and labels; peel spots from sticker removal in top left (front) and top right (back) corners.
