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 well-
informed) 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.
