  • Description

    How wild did things get in 1967? So wild that a label (Audio Fidelity) not particularly known for its hipness put out a record with an insert to send away for "psychedelic ornaments" so you, too, could throw an acid party! And the back cover offered "instructions" referencing everybody from Emmett
    Grogan of the Diggers to Albert Hofmann, the discoverer of LSD. But perhaps the most amazing thing about this album was that, despite its almost comical (though wellinformed) attempt to cash in on the psychedelic craze, How to Blow Your Mind and Have a Freak-Out Party wound up being a charming and even entrancing psych-pop gem of a record, albeit one with its requisite share of Eastern-influenced mumbo-jumbo. For its first-ever American vinyl reissue, we're pressing up just 500 copies in "orange sunshine" vinyl, complete with the
    insert (you can try sending it in, but don't get your hopes up). Groovy, man!
