Children Of The Mushroom - Children Of The Mushroom
Pressung Original BemerkungenWith only one 45 released back in the day, Children Of The Mushroom epitomized the psychedelic-garage sound coming out of California in the late '60s. Formed by Jerry McMillen and Dennis Swansen, they started out as a mid-'60s teen-beat band called The Captives. In 1967, they became Children Of The Mushroom, a name which reflected their new psychedelic sound and image. The following year, they caught the attention of a couple of young producers, who signed the band for a 45 release. Recorded in 1968 for Soho Records, 'August Mademoiselle'/'You Can't Erase A Mirror', is one of the masterpieces from the first psychedelic era, incorporating lots of feedback, fuzz, organ and mysterious vocals. Soon after, joined by a new guitar player, they shortened their name to The Mushroom and started playing in a more heavy-psych vein, in a similar style as Iron Butterfly. This retrospective album includes both tracks from their monster 45 with sound taken from the masters, plus previously unreleased tracks by The Mushroom, recorded in 1968. These are raw, lo-fi home recordings (some of the tracks were recorded in a real garage!) with lot of fuzz guitar and organ. An incredible document, this release comes with remastered sound, a fold-out colour insert with liner notes and an interview with the band members, and rare photos/memorabilia.
