The Serpent Power - The Serpent Power (1967)

The Serpent Power ‎– The Serpent Power Vanguard ‎– VSD-79252 stereo & VRS-9252 mono. Serpent Power was formed by David Meltzer and his wife Tina, and also included Denny Ellis on lead guitar and David Stenson on bass, both from The Grass Roots. The band became a full rock outfit with the inclusion of John Payne on organ and Clark Coolidge on drums. Ellis, Stenson, and Payne left shortly after the first self-titled album was recorded, replaced by Bob Cuff (from The Mystery Trend), on lead guitar and Jim Mocoso on bass. But the band didn’t record another album, and disbanded in 1968 leaving us with one of the greatest psychedelic lp’s San Francisco scene had to offer. Dedicated to David Meltzer who left us the last day of trails.
