This is an interesting 45 here.  Just like any good Garage/Psych 45 it has a J.R.R. Tolkien reference with Anduril, which is the sword that was broken, which is very ironic considering the state of this 45.  I am a closet Tolkien fan so this is always exciting for me.  The credited songwriter on Anduril is Steve Ellison Smith who was a member of the highly sought after heavy psych band Phafner.  The flipside of this is Follow, this song is AWESOME straight ahead rock, written by Ronny Call.  This album was produced by Rick Abts who was a member of another sought after Psych band Peacepipe.  The record label is out of San Gabriel CA and was located in a neighborhood here.  If you do street view on it you can see the house. The music and background of this 45 are awesome but now for the bad news, It is fully cracked.  Luckily it still plays and it UP FOR AUCTION, BID ON IT
