Notes:

Head Shop is the best known and one of the last projects masterminded by Milan, an enigmatic music industry professional who produced and performed on a variety of recordings released in the 1960s. This underground New York psychedelic project features soulful vocals, fuzzy bass, distorted lead guitars and an assortment of weird percussion all augmented by unexpected stereo effects. It has been described as a demented fusion of ’69 era heavy psych and ’66 era garage punk. On Revolution it is said the original idea was to mix The Beatles with contemporary classical music (Schönberg and Mahler) to make new music with a progressive edge. Also included is a melancholy version of Sunny by Bobby Hebb. Hundreds of other cover versions of this song exist. Yet critics have referred to Head Shop’s rendering as a 'bad acid' version of this perrennial goodtime song. Jazz guitarist Larry Coryell provides a second guitar solo on I Feel Love Comin' On. That begs the question, was it just a studio session for Coryell? This release has two pressing rings. Inner ring @ 32mm. Outer ring @ 70mm. Etched in runouts are the letters "GGR". Both of these characteristics are indicative of a [l321797] pressed release. Hype sticker: "180 gram * Limited Edition Classic LP * High-Definition Premium Virgin Vinyl Pressing For Super Fidelity * The Nicest Thing You Can Do For Your Stylus And Your Ears" Followed by: "The Ultimate Record: The Way Music Was Meant To Be Heard And Great Enough For An Audiophile" The 'mastering' of this release was performed by [a312098] as denoted by the etched letters "KM"
