Fuzz Acid & Flowers:
All three of these 45s and originals of this Minneapolis-based band's debut album are very rare and expensive collectors' items. The album, which was produced by band leader Ken Erwin, commences and concludes with the 12.30 minute long instrumental title track, which at times contains some interesting sound effects. However, the standout track is a piece of classic paranoid acid dementia Cold Spider, which is also included on the Endless Journey, II and Changes compilations. The latter also includes Blow To My Soul. The Live album is very disappointing.
They also had two cuts Mickey's Money and Blow To My Soul on the Money Music (August 100) 1967 compilation of Minneapolis bands, which had a very limited pressing and has also become very rare.
Although the album has been subject to many 'reissues', these were without the bands approval, and only included one-half of the stereo mix. The Sundazed reissue, corrects matters, and includes a number of alternate takes and previously unreleased cuts, together with sleevenotes including an interview with Ken Erwin, and studio engineer Steve Longman.

The first album consists of music to be seriously stoned to. Young negro-turned-mystic Bobby is joined by an orchestra and a host of other musicians including Funatics Hugh McCracken for a trip to the local souk-serious opium-den hippie scribblings, here. Sitars and tablas abound in this artifact of an era. Find a parsley cushion, adopt lotus position and contemplate your inner self (or navel fluff!). Produced by Alan Lorber whose other 'in' projects included
Ultimate Spinach.
The second album is a double more conceptual piece. The third is a homage to the 19th century painters and was recorded with a full orchestra, sometimes heading into progressive territory, with good electric guitar work, flutes and organ. Still with Lorber, Robert Callender also co-produced the aural documentary album by
The Groupies.
Before Callender embarked on a recording career, he was a radio producer for Murray the K at New York station WINS.

Tapestry of Delights:
This pop band formed in Bradford. Norman, Silson and Utley had previously been in a band called The Elizabethans. In 1968, with Pete Spencer also on board, they became Kindness and later Smokey, finally changing to Smokie in 1975. Their big break came when they joined Rak Records and Mickie Most introduced them to the songwriting partnership of Chinn and Chapman. Norman's distinctive vocals were quite appealing and with the likes of If You Think You Know How To Love Me, Don't Play Your Rock'n'Roll To Me, Wild Wild Angels, I'll Meet You At Midnight and Living Next Door To Alice they registered some good quality pop singles. They were still going strong as 1976 ended though they failed to make much impact on the lucrative US market, but competed well against the emerging punk scene for a while. When the hits dried up in the eighties Norman and Spencer, who'd been doing a greater share of the songwriting in Smokie's later days, turned to songwriting for other artists in the Rak stable. They were also responsible for the England World Cup Squad's This Time We'll Get It Right in 1982.
