"In 1967 The Elastik Band released one of the most notorious records ever, entitled Spazz, now a cult favorite sought by collectors worldwide. Hear their entire works, most never before released, on this showcase CD containing previously unheard recordings. The Elastik Band happened during a time when the music scene was exploding in San Francisco. Having a band there then was as if you were at Woodstock but not just for 4 days. It went on for years with tons of places to play, huge concerts everywhere, audiences that actually listened, and innovative bands that to this day are still remembered for whatever measure of success they achieved. Aside from the opportunities and excitement, the thing most bands had going for them then was that they possessed a feeling of unity and of belonging to something bigger than their own band. Like other bands of that age, The Elastik Band was an extended family that thought of themselves as a group rather than individuals who just happened to be in a band. They were not only musicians, they were part of a music movement. Although they had their own style and everything was original, The Elastik Band prided itself in being able to play many styles of music. A couple of songs were in the vein of The Mommas and The Poppas ('All I Need'), others were like the Beau Brummels or The Byrds ('Mixed Emotions'), another had a feel like Paul Revere and the Raiders ('Back On My Feet'), and so on. The EB thought diversity was a good thing, but in reality, record companies didn't quite know what to do with them."
