Not much information has circulated about the group, but it’s been written that they moved to Sacramento, CA, from Wisconsin, a notion supported by the listing of contact addresses in both locations on the LP’s back cover. From the brief liner notes on the back cover, it can also be deduced that Nicholas T. Freund — who wrote much (though not all) of the material, and produced the album — was the most musically influential member of the group, though it’s not entirely certain whether he actually was one of the bandmembers, as no instrumental or vocal duties are credited to them (as they are to four other individuals). The notes also intimate that the album was somewhat religiously motivated, though the lyrics only have occasional tenuous references that might bear this out. Still, a few other things in the notes point to some sort of religious connection: Nicholas T. Freund is referred to at one point as “Rev. Nicholas Freund,” and the San Francisco Theological Seminary is thanked for the use of Montgomery Chapel, which seems likely to have inspired the LP title. Whatever the real and perhaps forever-lost story is, the record — which, again according to the liner notes, took six weeks and $2,000 to record — is an above-average psychedelic small-pressing effort. 2) We Are Search Party!
