MERRELL FANKHAUSER, JEFF COTTON, RANDY WIMER, LARRY WILLEY
One of the most interesting cult figures in rock history, Fankhauser's best work came as the leader
of several interesting groups during the '60s and early '70s: the Impacts (instrumental surf),
Merrell & the Exiles (solid British Invasion-style rock), Fapardokly (great Byrds-ish folk-rock),
the H.M.S. Bounty (fine late-'60s folk-rock), and Mu (spaced-out progressive blues/psychedelia)

On back cover:
"MU recorded this album late in 1971. Release was delayed because of the reticence
of the major record companies to release what they thought to be an 'un-commercial' album.
Eventually the album was released on a small Los Angeles label and made available locally..."
This album serves as an introduction to a group who will be making much
fascinating music in the years to come.

grading
RECORD NEAR EX but (please, read above description)
SLEEVE VG+ but (please, see pictures and read above description)
One of the best overlooked albums of the early '70s.
Daring rhythms and song structures that build off the blues without following
the standard three-chord/12-bar progressions, occasional modal jazzy sax by Cotton,
and great slide guitar combine to form one of the most unclassifiable recordings of the time,
with a high-spirited lightness that avoids the heavy excesses
that sometimes burdened late-period psychedelia...(AllMusic)
