about

Previously unreleased archival studio/live recordings from 1970-71 by this lost Bay Area band.

A superb cool blend of acid-rock, psychedelia and brass-rock with some outstanding guitar leads, Hammond organ and a tight rhythm section.

Stow Lake was a seven piece group (named after the lake in Golden Gate Park) comprised of well-seasoned musicians from the original San Francisco psychedelic / fusion scene. Among them, we can find ace guitar player Bob Hardy (previously of hard psych group The Osgoode/Asgard); the tandem of Jeff Ervin (sax, flute) and Jean Hintermann (trumpet), both later on Aura, Bill Whiter’s backing band and Hot Cider (with Dennis Geyer of A.B. Skhy); child prodigy Larry Mallarino on trombone and bass player Dave Dunaway (later of jazz fusion band Listen). Not forgetting powerful singer / organist Bob Staley.

Unreleased until now, the recordings contained here were registered at top studios like McCune and Golden State Recorders. Also including are a couple of excellent quality live tracks recorded at the legendary Fillmore West in 1971, showing the band at their peak with an impressive jamming / acid-rock sound.

Farm
by Farm

Boogie, bluesy, early-70s jam rock from the American state of Illinois - a familiar release for the ultra dedicated rock vinyl collector, mostly due to the extreme rarity and high collectability value of the first private pressing from 1971. It was a long time coming for Guerssen to do a huge (and affordable!) vinyl reissue campaign, and frankly, I'm quite happy to see it get the greater recognition it deserves. Quota
