Reissue, originally released in 1968. Orphan Egg were a short-lived group who were formed in 1967 in San Jose, California. Their sole self-titled album was released in 1968 on the small independent company Carole Records. Essentially a garage-psych album -- in the tradition of future iconic compilation like Nuggets or Pebbles -- Orphan Egg was recorded by a bunch of students at Saratoga High School in Saratoga. Occasionally they won the Vox Battle of the Bands, a nationwide competition. They also appeared on the soundtrack of the classic bike-movie Cycle Savages with three tracks.

This fine band hailed from San Jose, California, and came to prominence when they won the 1967 "Vox Band Battle for Stardom." They went on to appear in two B-movies, and their sole album appeared the following May. It stands as one of the best fusions of garage rock and psychedelia of its time, and is presented here with background notes, rare images and two fine bonus tracks.
