Groop - Voodoo Sitar/Kosmic Sound. 7". (Ace Of Discs - ACE 000) 2002 single on Ace Of Discs is a real psychedelic affair, Imagine Neu" making a 7" set up as two repetetive-beat sides to flow into each other and launches straight into a welter of Hammondy Kraut cosmic rock-out swirls, slurried analogue synths and some trilling flutes inna Sixties mode.

Groop - The Groop. CD. (Sundazed - SC 6255) CD re-issue of the 1970 LP for Bell Records that truly qualifies as a lost classic: Only a handful of sealed copies, which mysteriously surfaced in the 1990s, are known to exist. With direct ties to the 5th Dimension, Sergio Mendes &Brasil ¹66, the Millennium, Sagittarius and the only X-rated film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture (Midnight Cowboy) this baroque folk-rock gem with its opulent orchestrations, breathtaking vocal harmonies and subtle flourishes of pop-psychedelia is an unforgettable snapshot of the late ¹60sLos Angeles scene. Remastered from the original master tapes and embellishedwith bonus tracks, rare photos and in-depth interviews with the originalband members and producer of this extraordinary album is finally getting thelong overdue, all-out buff-and-shine Sundazed treatment.
