Formed in Thousand Oaks by Jerry McMillen and Dennis Swanson, they evolved from a mid-60s teen-beat band called The Captives. In 1967, they became Children Of The Mushroom, a name which reflected their new psychedelic sound and image. The following year, they caught the attention of a couple of young producers, who signed the band for a 45 release. Recorded in 1968 for Soho Records, \"August Mademoiselle\" \/ \"You can't erase a Mirror\", is one of the masterpieces from the first psychedelic era: feedback, fuzz, organ, mysterious vocals… \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoon after, the band incorporated a new guitar player, shortened their name to The Mushroom and started playing in a more heavy-psych vein, in a similar style to Iron Butterfly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis retrospective album includes both tracks from their monster 45 with sound taken from the masters plus previously unreleased tracks by The Mushroom, recorded in 1968. These are raw, lo-fi home recordings (some of the tracks were recorded in a real garage!) with lot of fuzz guitar and organ. It's the sound of a psychedelic band in 1968 playing free and wild, without any producer or record label executive telling them what to do. An incredible document.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Outsider","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":51227972075851,"sku":"2243926","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":51227969880395,"sku":"2243925","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Screenshot_2025-02-07_at_11.46.02_8ba79edb_thumbnail_4096.png?v=1738930327"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/children-of-the-mushroom.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
