2021 restock. West Coast psychedelia/bluesy acid-rock by this true hippie band led by the legendary Merrell Fankhauser (Fapardokly, HMS Bounty) and genius guitar player Jeff Cotton (Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band). This is their classic and sought-after first album from 1971. Remastered sound, insert with lyrics, photos and extensive liner notes by Patrick Lundborg. "The mix of bluesy urban L.A. exhaust fume vibes and tribal desert mystique is as archetypal an early 1970s SoCal trip as you can find. With strong songwriting and a pro-level recording, the album is given a clear musical identity via the excellent slide guitar, harmony vocals, and occasional sax." --Patrick Lundborg (Acid Archives)

Basically the same release as the Captain Trip Merrell Fankhauser: Return to Mu CD -- a collection of Merrell's mid-70s Maui-based songs, performed by various permutations of his Mu collective. Classic hippy idealism and pure saucer infatuation, sounds good no matter what the decade. "Merrell Fankhauser -- The eccentric guitar/ songwriting genius behind psych/folk-rockers Fapardokly and H.M.S. Bounty -- is back on the scene with an all-new album of shimmering delights from MU, his long-dormant band of lysergic visionaries. Return To MU not only flashes the utopian spirit of those golden days of the Summer Of Love, it features many of its original participants, including: Quicksilver Messenger Service guitar god John Cipollina, Jay Ferguson and Ed Cassidy of Spirit, John McEuen of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Rolling Stones/Kinks session keyboard whiz Nicky Hopkins."
