A hippie outfit from New Jersey. Hiya, a shorter version of an album track can be heard on Pebbles, Vol. 14 (LP). The high pitched, often manic vocals, make this song at least rather a novelty. At times it recalls Tim Buckley in his prime. Hiya is the outstanding track on an inconsistent album which has its moments. There is also some fine guitar work on Moonlight Dip and Aunt Ida and on Banana Split, which is quite trippy in places. Definitely worth a listen.

The album was produced by Vinny Testa, Shadow Morton (aka Shadow Mann) and John Linde and recorded in NY. All the tracks were penned by the group.

Leon Luther Rix went on to play with Buzzy Linhart.

I was living with the Tipi-Town Tribe. Since some of them had been at Milbrook during the time of the League for Spiritual Discovery phase of Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert's lives, they were tight with the Group Image from that episode in all their lives. We were to be "house freaks" that night. Went to the ticket window and said the magic "woid" for the event - Charge IT!.

When we got inside, all 7 or 8 of us, we saw folding chairs lining three walls of the dance hall, with the stage in the center of the other wall. I don't remember Group Image set at all. I distinctly recall that when Garcia first came to his vocal microphone, he said, "It's one of these, boys." The band proceeeded to ente
