The Music Emporium

The Music Emporium were a little-known Southern Californian psychedelic music group of the past due ’60s, somewhat uncommon for the reason that they presented a four-member lineup evenly divided between women and men; Dora Wahl was mostly of the female rock and roll drummers of that time period. In most additional respects, these were a far more or much less typical psychedelic work. Carolyn Lee’s vocals occasionally think of america of America or (even more distantly) Jefferson Aircraft; a number of the music have a good gothic/classical touch, as well as the lyrics are too much cosmic (primary songwriter and organist Casey Cosby may be the main culprit). Their self-titled recording is highly appreciated by some psychedelic enthusiasts. The Music Emporium shaped in 1968 because the Cage, led by UCLA music main Cosby, and including several music college students from Long Seaside State. They transformed their name towards the Music Emporium if they documented their recording, that was originally meant as a demonstration tape. However, the tiny Sentinel label released the tape as the official LP launch, inside a die-cut recording sleeve. Just 300 copies had been pressed, and re-releases from the record are easier to get than originals; the Sundazed Compact disc reissue in 2001 can be more suitable, as it’s extracted from the get better at tape, includes historic liner records, and provides five bonus paths (albeit instrumental variations of five tracks through the LP). The group split up in 1970 when Cosby was drafted.
