REISSUE


Originally known as The Linn County Blues Band, this quintet formed in Iowa and moved to San Francisco in 1967.
Having adopted a more psychedelic sound, they soon found themselves gigging alongside Led Zeppelin, Sly & The Family Stone, Ten Years After and other icons in the city's leading venues.
Packed with lengthy acid-rock jams, their classic debut was originally released in September 1968

soul-rock outings like a cover of James Brown's "Think" are more original, ambitious pieces like "Moon Food" and "Lower Lemons," where soul and rock conventions get slightly twisted with avant-garde-tinged jazz arrangements, weird lyrics, and novel (for rock) touches of flute and brass.

Originally from Iowa, this quintet spent time in Chicago before fetching up in San Francisco, where they became staples of the live scene, playing their own blend of trippy blues and jazz. First issued in September 1968, their debut LP is offered here in its original gatefold sleeve, together with an insert offering background info and graphics from the time of release.
