Shag - 1969 [CD]

This Milwaukee, Wisconsin band are best remembered by their 1967 psychedelic 45 "Stop & Listen." What is not known about them is their 1969 studio recordings made at Pacific High Recorders in San Francisco. Shag laid down some excellent tracks during down time at the studio while the Grateful Dead were finishing up "Workingman's Dead." Tracks from Shag's "1969" have never been released and their use of the flute a full two years ahead of Jethro Tull's popularization of the instrument shows their versatility and raw talent.
