The Head Shop

The Head Shop  is a psychedelic rock band from New York that released one eponymous album on Epic in 1969.  The album cover features a swirling group of multi-colored (and numbered) boxes that surround a black-and-white image of a shrunken head.  The back cover is mostly black with minimal copy but also includes a shot of the band lit from beneath.  (More from Wikipedia)

 

All of this started I suppose when I began noticing that I was over-writing a lot of my appraisal reports, so I tried to find a more satisfying outlet for my writing.  I joined Wikipedia in August 2006 and almost immediately started my first article there, on a 1960’s psychedelic rock band called the Head Shop.  Milan had been involved in their album as a producer and a musician, and I started trying to get to the bottom of who Milan was.  After meeting his sister Dara Gould on line, I not only had enough for Wikipedia, but it eventually shaped up into the article that got published in Ugly Things.
