180 gram virgin vinyl pressing. Originally released in 1967. "One of several second-to-third-division West Coast (or nearly West Coast) '60s bands on the Mainstream label, The Superfine Dandelion made one middling album in 1967 that mixed San Francisco psychedelic, folk-rock, pop, and jug band influences. They were formed in Phoenix in early 1967 by singer, guitarist, and principal songwriter Mike McFadden (of local garage band, The Mile Ends), and bassist Ed Black (who had been in The Mile Ends in their final days). Their self-titled LP had a good deal of sub-Jefferson Airplane folk-psych-rock, with plenty of minor chords, harmonies and wistful lyrics.
