Psychedelicatessen

ELIZABETH      Quite possibly the most obscure artist on the Vanguard label, which included such notable names as Joan Baez, Buffy Sainte-Marie and Country Joe & the Fish. Jug band  Elizabeth performed with many musical luminaries of the era, including Cream, Blue Cheer, Joni Mitchell, Richie Havens and the Chambers Brothers amongst others. Elizabeth also had connections with Mandrake Memorial and Todd Rundgren, who once auditioned to play guitar with the band but had bigger fish to fry with the Nazz, and later Utopia, where he wasn't just a Wizard, but a True Star. 

ELECTRIC FRANKENSTEIN     The spirit of Herman Munster lives on! Not to be confused with the punk revival band of the same name - and why would anyone want to revive punk anyway? 

ELDERBERRY JAK      The year 1970 may be Long Overdue for a debut Psychedelic Rock album, but way back then, over half a century ago, black & white TV's were more commonplace than colour, home computers hadn't even been conceived of yet, and the only place you'd see a mobile phone was on Star Trek!  

Elderberry Jak is notable for featuring Joe Cerisano - the finest rock singer no one's ever heard of - who you may recall was the lead vocalist on Blue Oyster Cult's "Frankenstein" from their rip-roaring Imaginos album. 

EIRE APPARENT     A Northern Irish band (no surprise there) with big egos and even bigger hair. 

EDEN'S CHILDREN      An East Coast Psychedelic Rock band from Boston, MA. Cheers! 

EARTHEN VESSEL     A religiously-inspired Lansing, Michigan outfit who urn their holy crust by playing hard psychedelic Christian Rock. Hallelujah! 

Cordon sanitaire! It's Lieutenant Frank Drebin and Jane Spencer making an earthenware vessel together in what may be the greatest love story ever told - from the brother of the director of Ghost. 

EAGLE        Spreading their wings after the break-up of Beacon Street Union, it's the one and only album from Eagle, but try and avoid looking for acronyms in their choice of album title. 

DRY ICE      A short-lived Acid Rock band from Revere, Massachusetts, where two of its members never lived long enough to experience a hedonistic lifestyle of sex and drugs and rock & roll as their lives were cut tragically short by the Vietnam War. 

DRAGONWYCK     Fire-breathing psych from Cleveland, Ohio. Not to be confused with Dragonwyck of Akron, Ohio.
