Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days.

Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable.

RARE and sought ... 1969 Original first pressing vinyl on the obscure Parallax label ...
The SACRED MUSHROOM cool old hard edged blues garage "heads" who made only this one collectible album - well worthy of tracking down, if not for the jams that brew inside, then for the eye-dazzling psychedelic cover visuals... one is all and all is one .......................................................................
THE SACRED MUSHROOM were a short-lived hard rock/blues Psych STONER UNDERGROUND CLASSIC based in Cincinnati, Ohio. ....................................................................... The bands efforts on their FIRST (and only) album contain a blend of proficient originals as well as a pair of well-chosen takes on killer 60's blues "Mean Old World" and the Kinks' "I'm Not Like Everybody Else."
While their name conjures images of late-'60s psychedelic or acid rock, Sacred Mushroom's roots were decidedly more bluesy than trippy. Likewise, their harder-edged performance style is being served well by tight and somewhat jam-driven arrangements.
A few of the original tunes are certifiably lost classics. These include the up-tempo rocker "Catatonic Lover," which features some lyrical chord changes reminiscent of "3/5's of a Mile in 10 Seconds" by Jefferson Airplane, and the Chicago blues-styled "All Good Things Must End."
The opening track, "I Don't Like You," is a cool rocker spotlighting tight harmonies as well as distinctive lead electric guitar licks. The albums absolute standout is a terrific presentation of "I'm Not Like Everybody Else." The track retains a timeless edgy-aggressive attitude throw-back to the 60's garage snarl, incorporating weaving acoustic and electric guitar lines within fiery vocal delivery ala CHOCOLATE WATCHBAND
"Lifeline," the most extended track on the LP, recalls the electric blues of seminal Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac or Chicken Shack. Along the same lines is the blues boogie rendering of "Mean Old World," which might easily be mistaken for an obscure version by a mid-'60s lineup of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers w/Peter Green.
All said, much stronger than remembered and should delight the lot of you
