Summerhill
Summerhill were formed in Los Angeles in 1968 by "Doug Burger" (keyboards), "Larry Hickman" (bass guitar), "Alan Parker" (vocals, lead guitar) and "Del Ramos" (drums, percussion).
Produced by "David Briggs" and recoreded at "Wally Heider Studio" in San Francisco during 1969, their eponymous album "Summerhill" ("Bill Cosby"'s record label Tetragrammaton T-114) features ten original compositions, all four members contributed material giving the album a diverse, but occasionally unfocused feel.

Summerhill's only and underrated album possibly failed to find an audience because it never settles on any particular style, plus I assume that Tetragrammaton Records were pretty underground, despite having "Deep Purple"'s "The Book Of Taliesyn" on their catalogue.
The set certainly sported a late-1960s West Coast vibe, bouncing all over the musical spectrum, including Hendrix-Rock style ("Bring Me Around"), Sunshine Pop ("Soft Voice"), "Curt Boettcher"-influenced Psychedelic Folk-Rock ("Follow Us"), a touch of Jazz ("What Can I Say"), and brushes with more experimental moves (check out the aural meltdown on side two's "The Bird").
