Fuzz Acid & Flowers:
This group's leader, Casey Cosby, apparently won the Frank Sinatra Award Competition at UCLA in 1967 and performed in both classical and jazz media prior to forming The Music Emporium. Padwin has previously played for several Midwest country rock groups. In Dora Wahl the band had one of rock's few woman drummers at the time. All songs on their album were written by the band. The album is one of different moods, from the quasi-religious chants of Nam Myo Renge Kyo and Day Of Wrath to gentle ballads, such as Velvet Sunsets and Gentle Thursday, which are both noteworthy for Carolyn Lee's soft, smooth vocals, to the haunting introduction of Catatonic Variations. Only 700 copies of the Psycho reissue were pressed (and it's only in mono and not with the original cover - the inner sleeve has been photographed) and it was deleted by 1984. The album is a significant collectors' item and originals change hands for quite a considerable sum.
