This all-time great psychedelic rock album gets the reissue treatment. The band were signed by Elektra in 1970 but they were dropped following the album's release - they then re-named theselves as Blue Oyster Cult.

'It is widely believed that Elektra viewed the band as a potential East Coast Doors, and the label wasted no time in getting them into the studio to record an album's worth of psychedelic tunes, rich in high harmonies and fluid, accomplished guitar interplay and trippy-hippy lyrics, under the watchful eyes of the co-production team Sandy Pearlman and Jay Lee. Around the same time bassist Andy Winters was replaced by drummer Albert Bouchard's brother Joe, and sensing the project had all the hallmarks of an ill-fated venture, Elektra promptly dropped the band, but not before releasing a paltry 200 copies of a single taken from the unreleased album session. Obviously not deterred by this setback, the band promptly changed its name to Blue Oyster Cult, signed for Columbia and retuned its musical style to heavy metal. The rest, as they say, is history! This reissue of the unreleased Calfornian session, bearing the name of the '90s German bootleg, has been re-mastered to a particularly high standard, as befits one of the best West Coast-style psych albums ever made.'
