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.
