In 1968, Weird Herald released a now sought-after promo only 45 with the songs 'Saratoga James'/'Just Yesterday.' That 45 was part of a full album that was never released. Music ranges from haunting, beautiful folk-rock with spacey acoustic guitar playing and delicate vocal harmonies ('Untitled,' 'David Of Bijou' - probably the first ever song dedicated to Skip Spence - cool laid-back country-folk ('Reapin' Seasons,' sounding not unlike current bands like the Milk Carton Kids) to energetic hard-rockers � la early Moby Grape or Jefferson Airplane with stunning electric leads.

Their roots can be traced to the early San Jose folk/coffeehouse scene. Jorma Kaukonen (Jefferson Airplane/Hot Tuna) was a close friend and used to jam with them. Billy Dean Andrus was Skip Spence's best friend since high school and they both used to perform as a folk duo in the early days. A fantastic rhythm section, Cecil Bollinger on bass and Pat McIntire on drums rounded the band. Sadly, in 1970 Billy Dean Andrus died of a drug overdose in the Santa Cruz Mountains.

Luckily, reel-to-reel copies have remained with the Andrus family for half over a century, unheard until now. Includes detailed liner notes by Cam Cobb (authors of 'Weighted Down: The Complicated Life Of Skip Spence') with input from the Andrus family and the surviving Weird Herald membe...
