legend

Formed in California in the late sixties, this obscure band was signed for a one-off deal with the small Encino-based Megaphone label-for whom they produced this eponymous album in 1968-then disappeared without a trace, although according to some sources The Legend morphed into the equally obscure Dragonfly, also on Megaphone. Serving up a mix of poppy psych originals and a handful of inspired covers (including The Whos "The Kids Are Alright", The Troggs "With A Girl Like You", and Bob Dylans "Baby Blue") this album is a rare slice of early, surprisingly radio-friendly, Southern Californian psychedelia.
