No doubt this band was cutting edge for its time, regarding the sound their live shows produced, and the recording from them.
July 1969, temporarily staying at Treasure Island.  A fellow offered me a hit of Grace Slick's Yellow Sunshine for 2 bucks.  It was a batch of Owsley's, never saw anything like it again.  The Summer of Love, 1967, lasted for about 2 years, then meth came in and we see the results to this day.
I suspect much of what is on offer has been blasted to death. Unless it’s signed by the members of the band most of it is useless and not worth bragging about…
