William Penn Fyve
Swami/blow My Mind
First ever band-sanctioned reissue of this legendary 'Pebbles' garage-psych 45 from 1967. William Penn Fyve aka William
Penn & His Pals were a regular presence on the early Bay Area scene, opening for the likes of Jefferson Airplane, Paul
Revere & The Raiders and Them. Their line-up included lead singer/organist Gregg Rolie, later of Santana/Journey. In
1966 they recorded their lone single, 'Swami'/'Blow My Mind,' for the Thunderbird label. The A-side (written by guitar
player Mike Shapiro and famous for being included on 'Pebbles - The Acid Gallery') is early acid-punk track with
fuzzed-out raga guitars and hilarious lyrics about a guru. The flipside is an energetic garage-punk number with swirling
Vox organ and a fuzz rave up á la Yardbirds.
