Mega Rare Orginal 1970 pressing of this Psych Fuzz Monster called DRAGONFLY on the MEGAPHONE Record label...MS-1202 Stereo pressing.  Heavy rock and Fuzz guitar throughout the record.  Here is a description from the Fuzz Acid and Flowers guide: "(Dragonfly)...album by this Colorado band is superb, full of driving rhythms and excellent psychedelic guitar.  It's easy to see why copies of this collector's item now change hands for a fair bit. "This group was originally from Colorado, and their one and only album is a very good underrated psychedelic classic, recorded back in 1968 in Los Angeles. They sometimes have a sound similar to several groups of that era, a little bit of Iron Butterfly and perhaps Cream, and even at times The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Blue Cheer. The guitar playing is excellent "acid-psych" all the way, and it gets very heavy at times.I would best describe this as backyard bonfire biker bash music. Probably because a biker turned me on to this in the late 80's saying this is what they used to listen to at 60's biker parties along with stuff like Sir Lord Baltimore, Gracious, The Litter, and Lincoln Street Exit. It encompasses the whole vibe of that era, so yes it's very much of its time, but not in a cheesy way--no, this rocks with passion. I really wondered how many other little known bands there were from that time period to discover, and while I've found a few (less than I'd hoped), these guys were the real deal. Imaginative songs with more than competent musicianship, but oh, that SOUND. If you really love that era's sound, it is in full force here. I am not from that era, but I love the music and appreciate this on many levels. Even when they stretch, as in lyrics like "Merry-go-round, tripping along, stumbling over skyscrapers, you can touch the sky with your elastic mind", it just sounds so cool that you will accept it with a smile. I don't want to compare them to other bands as they stand on their own merit, but if you like any of the above mentioned obscure bands, or more known bands such as Steppenwolf, you will wish you had heard this a long time ago.
