FIRST EVER RELEASE OF POST-CHILDREN OF THE MUSHROOM HEAVY PROG STUDIO/LIVE RECORDINGS FROM 1971.
Formed in California in 1967, Children of the Mushroom were the quintessential garage-psych band. As the times evolved, the band hardened their sound, shortening their name to Mushroom.
By 1970, Mushroom became Lady, incorporating prog-rock influences and instruments like flute to their hard-pych organ/guitar dominated sound, drawing inspiration from bands like Jethro Tull, Steamhammer, Gypsy or Bloodrock.
In 1971 the band recorded a few studio demos at Village Recorders in Los Angeles, which are presented here in top sound quality along with a couple of raw, lo-fi but killer live tracks from the same year.
Long tracks, heavy fuzz guitar, Hammond organ, flute, powerful vocals…
File under: hard psych, prog-rock.
Remastered sound. Insert with liner notes by Klemen Breznikar (It’s Psychedelic Baby) and rare photos. Download card with three live bonus tracks.
