The Lemon Fog “Summer With the Lemon Fog” (LION LP-207 / RTAI 027); UPC: 061297805723:
The spacey psychedelic sound of The Lemon Fog never sounded better than with this release, which gathers all of their singles, unreleased outtakes, and complete versions of ‘Summer’, ‘Lemon Fog’, and ‘Day By Day,’  — everything from the original master tapes. 

Hailing from Houston, Texas, The Lemon Fog blew many minds during 1967-68. Their first single ‘Theme For The Living Eye’ (changed to ‘Lemon Fog’ upon release) was a psych-pop flower power masterpiece, a harbinger of sophisticated psychedelic masterworks to come from the band; the b-side, ‘Echoes of Time,’ was glittering and brilliant, reminiscent of the British psych scene. The second Lemon Fog single, ‘Summer,’ remains the signature track of the band, with its moody and introspective sound. This was no typical up-beat teen summer song; it was about alienation and boredom. Ongoing experimentation with new electronic sounds became a hallmark of The Lemon Fog recorded legacy. The surreal lyrics and tight playing of The Lemon Fog are remarkable enough — even more so knowing that the band members were in high school when these sophisticated psychedelic masterpieces were recorded.
