William Penn & His Pals (also known as William Penn Fyve) were the ultimate 60s garage band from the Bay Area. Their line-up featured Mike Shapiro on lead guitar (author of the garage, acid-punk anthem "Swami") and Gregg Rolie (of Santana/Journey fame) on organ / vocals. Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead was also the drummer for a brief period.

Here’s the first ever vinyl release of their complete recordings, including their fuzzed-out “Swami” / “Blow My Mind” 45 of Pebbles fame plus prime cut '66 unissued recordings. A feat of garage-punk and teen-beat.

*Includes a color insert telling their amazing story by San Fran rock historian Bruno Ceriotti plus rare photos / memorabilia. *Download card

“Don't be fooled by the name or the Revolutionary War-era stage costumes. These kids are certified '60s garage punk rockers!” – Bruno Ceriotti
