The Wizards From Kansas (Mercury Records, 1970) 10:19 AM

Found these guys while scouring for versions of the song "Codine".

Formed in Kansas City, 1968, blah blah blah. Mercury Records released the album in 1970, but The Wizards broke up the following month so no one promoted the record. Instead it sat around until 2003, when Radioactive Records briefly re-released it.

If you like Jefferson Airplane, The Byrds, and the Northern California sounds of the 60s, this will suit your tastes. It's a good bit of country psych rock.

1. High Flying Bird
2. High Mister
3. 912 1/2 Mass
4. Codine
5. Freedom Speech
6. Flyaway Days
7. Misty Mountainside
8. Country Dawn
9. She Rides with Witches

blue velvet jazz jam 4:24 PM

the VELVET UNDERGROUND : END OF COLE AVE
Live in Dallas Texas, October 28 1969.

The record is pretty solid but the last track, "Blue Velvet Jazz Jam", was the clincher for me. It's apparently a show closer made up of VU and audience members, sloppy and kind of awful but worth it.
