For a brief moment in time in the late 60s the Sacred Mushroom were the hottest act in Cincinnati, Ohio. They sold out bars and clubs with their astonishing live act, but sadly failed to sell through on record. 

The Sacred Mushroom were a bluesy rock/psych combo from Ohio formed by brothers Larry and Danny Goshorn. They lived in a small commune in Cincinnati and were known collectively as the “Mushroom People”, sheltered from what they termed “the rich-blundering- na rrow- minded-own er-of- the-non-essential-producing-factory.” 

They recorded a single in 1966 (‘Break Away Girl’) for Nashville-based Minaret Records. It received enough local airplay to garner the interest of the New York underground label Parallax who released their debut, and only, album The Sacred Mushroom in 1969. However, shortly after, the group disbanded leaving behind a small but rich musical legacy reissued here 
over 50 years on.
