In 1967 they decided to make the pilgrimage to California where they got more into phsychadelic sounds. There, they signed to Uni Records (Universal) and recorded their only album, Creation, and changed their name to The Druids of Stonehenge. They broke up the following year.

Flutist/bassist Andy Kulberg and drummer Roy Blumenfeld of Blues Project formed the band with Jim Roberts, ex-Mystery Trend guitarist John Gregory, former Jim Kweskin Jug Band violinist/fiddler Richard Greene, and saxophonist Don Kretmar. Seatrain recorded their first album, Planned Obsolescence, in 1968, but had to release it as a Blues Project album for contractual reasons. They released the first Seatrain album in 1969. Seatrain recorded four albums and disbanded after releasing this one in 1973.

New York City
Ed Sanders, vocal
Ken Weaver, vocal
Tuli Kupferberg, vocals
Produced by Ed Sanders 1968
Recorded by Richard Alderson at Impact Sound, NYCThis song is actually very beautiful. It’s the second song on side two, after Johnny Pissoff Meats the Red Angel. This album was The Fugs at their artistic best but I wouldn’t say it’s their best album. I bought it after seeing them at Massey Hall on October 26, 1968. (Opening act: McKenna Mendelson Mainline).

Produced by Rick Shorter - 1967 http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=U1ARTU0002743The Paupers were, I think, the most psychedelic band in Toronto at the time. They got to open for Jimi Hendrix Experience and The Soft Machine at Toronto’s CNE Coliseum. They played Monterray Pop Festival but played poorly due to their bass player getting totally stoned and, thus, were not used in the movie.

Recorded by Roger Bechirian at Eden Studios, Advision Studios, London UKThis is definitely a drug song but wasn’t banned from airplay like The Byrds previous single, Eight Miles High (which wasn’t a drug song). But it did come close! I love the way The Flaming Groovies cover it.

Recorded at Sunwest Studios, HollywoodDrummer Neal Smith later said of the record producer David Briggs, "David hated our music and us. I recall the term that he used, referring to our music, was 'Psychedelic Shit'. I think Easy Action sounded too dry, more like a TV or radio commercial and he did not help with song arrangement or positive input in any way." Mr. & Misdemeanor was later included in the well-received 1999 compilation album “The Life and Crimes of Alice Cooper.”

Hassinger used his trademark ‘tape delayed echo’ technique on it.”
Lydia Purple was recorded at American Sound in North Hollywood. “Great little studio”, says Miller, “used to be an old cold storage meat packing plant. The walls were over a foot thick and filled with sawdust for insulation. The Greatful Dead recorded their first album there with Hassinger producing.”

Produced by Bob Martin, 1967The Dimensions got together in 1965 and were managed by Bernie Finkelstein, (future president of True North Records and Bruce Cockburn's longstanding manager). The band changed name to A Passing Fancy in January 1966 when Finkelstein left to take over the management of The Paupers. This was the B Side of their first single and only real major hit song I’m Losing Tonight. The following year their management – Wall-Don – decided to fire Jay Telfer which lead to the other members quitting. Wall-Don then put together a totally different band using the same name.
Bass player Rick Mann changed his name back to Richard Fruchtman and played bass with Whiskey Howl, a seminal Canadian blues band, from 1970 to 1972. He then freelanced and played with Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner, Paul Shaffer, Doug Henning, The Diamonds, Doug Kershaw, Dan Hill, Richard Newell (aka King Biscuit Boy), Tony Kosinec, String Band.
