William Penn & His Pals (also known as William Penn Fyve) were the ultimate '60s garage band from the Bay Area. Their line-up featured Mike Shapiro on lead guitar (author of the garage, acid-punk anthem 'Swami') and Gregg Rolie (of Santana/Journey fame) on organ/vocals. Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead was also the drummer for a brief period. Here's the first ever vinyl release of their complete recordings, including their fuzzed-out 'Swami'/'Blow My Mind' 45 of 'Pebbles' fame plus prime cut '66 unissued recordings. A feat of garage-punk and teen-beat. Includes a color insert telling their amazing story by San Fran rock historian Bruno Ceriotti plus rare photos/memorabilia and a download card. "Don't be fooled by the name or the Revolutionary War-era stage costumes. These kids are certified '60s garage punk rockers!" ~Bruno Ceriotti.
