VERY HARD TO FIND !! COULD BE EVEN RARER THAN THE US !!

 U.S. fuzzed blaster psychedelic monster Lp.   To my humble ears ...this lp blows away many of the higher priced records in this genre.  Every song is raw 60s garage production,  gritty vocals,  all the fuzzed out guitar you could ever ask for ...and above all,  genuinely great psychedelic songwriting.   3 thumbs up all the way!  I love this lp who was by this Colorado band , Superb, full of driving rhythms and excellent psychedelic guitar. It's easy to see why copies of this collectors' item now change hands for a fair bit. My personal favourites were I Feel lt, Portrait Of Youth and the spacey Miles Away,although it's difficult to single out tracks as such a high standard is maintained throughout.
Original CANADIAN / U.S. pressing of an ultra rare fuzz psych blaster album. One of the best US psych albums.Originally known as Legend, this Colorado-based group recorded this fuzzed-out, hard-driving album in 1968 in Los Angeles California .which of course is now a sought after psych monster! Will appeal to fans of Iron Butterfly, The Who, and Stack.Their self-titled hard psychedelic rock LP from 1968 as marked on the label and not 1970 as the Megaphone green label !! If you are a fan of early Led Zeppelin and you enjoyed the Stack or Wizard , this stuff is for you!! Searing guitar,  psychedelic fuzz ,driving drums, and loud vocals make this one a keeper!!

THE ONLY CHANCE TO GET A CLEAN COPY AS THIS ONE!!

Dragonfly was really just a loose pseudonym for a band called the Legend. They never played under the Dragonfly name and the LP 'Dragonfly' was really just the title of the record and not of the group. Members included Jack Duncan (bass), Barry Davis (drums, background vocals), Gerry Jimerfield (guitar, lead vocals), Randy Russ (guitar, background vocals) and Ernie McElwaine (keyboards). The band's origins can be traced to El Paso, TX where in 1965 Duncan and Davis met each other and became fast friends while playing in a group called the Pawns. Getting word that the Pawns were going to be playing a gig in Farmington, NM, Coloradoans Jimerfield and McElwaine took a road trip down south to check them out and were very impressed. At 26, Jimerfield was a bit more seasoned and had already played the L.A. scene, appearing on the show 'Hullabaloo' as well as more recently fronting his own band called the Lords Of London back in Colorado. Citing his L.A. connections, Jimerfield soon convinced Duncan and Davis to quit the Pawns and relocate to Durango, CO where they could stay at his parents' motel and form a new ensemble. The band rehearsed there for a couple of months and soon decided they needed to add a second guitar player. Duncan and Davis suggested Russ, who they knew from their El Paso days. The group was completed when Russ agreed to move up to Durango and join up. In early 1967, the band, now calling themselves the Lords Of London, moved to the Denver area where they played a lot of clubs and eventually became a frequent opening act at Chet Helms' Family Dog theatre. Getting restless in Colorado, they then bounced out to L.A. for a brief stint where they changed their name to the Jimerfield Legend, but soon moved back to good old Colorado in time for the 1967 Summer of Love. By 1968, they had moved back to L.A., shortened their name to the Legend and signed with the local label Megaphone, releasing three 45s and a full length, self-titled LP. The album contains mostly pre-psychedelic covers, and according to Duncan, the instrumentation was mostly played by non-group session musicians. However, the second 45 released as the Legend, contains two excellent non-LP originals ('Portrait Of Youth' b/w 'Enjoy Yourself'), which were later significantly redone and appear again on the 'Dragonfly' LP. Unfortunately all of the records fell flat in sales and the band again moved back to Colorado, where they continued to remain a well received live act. At around this time, McElwaine left the group and was not replaced. In 1969, the same executives who represented the Legend recordings, saw the band playing at their old haunt, the Denver Family Dog, and were now further amazed by their originality and musicianship. This time, the record execs promised to allow the band to cut an LP of original material, so they packed up again for L.A. and recorded what was to become the 'Dragonfly' LP at Amigo and I.D. Studios in North Hollywood. The album is absolutely amazing and includes several outstanding, harder psychedelic originals, most of which are played on TWOS. At the time of release, the record did get some modest airplay on L.A. radio, but unfortunately it didn't sell well and the group broke up soon after its release. Jimerfield has since passed away, but Duncan, Davis and Russ are still active musicians to this day.
