“THE MUSIC EMPORIUM” WERE A LITTLE-KNOWN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAN PSYCHEDELIC
BAND OF THE LATE ’60s, SOMEWHAT UNUSUAL IN THAT THEY FEATURED A FOUR-MEMBER
LINEUP EVENLY SPLIT BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN ; DORA WAHL WAS ONE OF THE FEW
FEMALE ROCK DRUMMERS OF THE TIME. IN MOST OTHER RESPECTS, THEY WERE A MORE
OR LESS TYPICAL PSYCHEDELIC ACT. CAROLYN LEE’S VOCALS SOMETIMES BRING TO MIND
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR (MORE DISTANTLY) JEFFERSON AIRPLANE ; SOME OF
THE TUNES HAVE A NICE GOTHIC/CLASSICAL TOUCH, AND THE LYRICS ARE EXCESSIVELY
COSMIC (PRINCIPAL SONGWRITER AND ORGANIST CASEY COSBY IS THE CHIEF CULPRIT).
“THE MUSIC EMPORIUM” FORMED IN 1968 AS THE CAGE, ED BYUCLA MUSIC MAJOR COSBY,
AND INCLUDING A COUPLE OF MUSIC STUDENTS FROM LONG BEACH STATE. THEY CHANGED
THEIR NAME TO “THE MUSIC EMPORIUM” WHEN THEY RECORDED THEIR ALBUM, WHICH WAS
ORIGINALLY INTENDED AS A DEMO TAPE. HOWEVER, THE SMALL “SENTINEL” LABEL PUT OUT
THE TAPE AS AN OFFICIAL LP RELEASE, IN A DIE-CUT ALBUM SLEEVE. ONLY 300 COPIES WERE
PRESSED MAKING THIS ALBUM ONE OF THE RAREST AND THEREFORE HARD TO FIND ! THIS
ORIGINAL 1969 STEREO PRESSING IS IN OPTIMAL CONDITION WITH SHINY AND HARDLY
PLAYED VINYL RECORD AND THE GATEFOLD COVER IS ALSO IN VERY STRONG SHAPE . . .
. . . THE CORNERSTONE FOR PSYCH ALBUMS COLLECTORS !
