The Blues Magoos
THE BLUES MAGOOS
The Blues Magoos were formed in 1964 and were originally known as the Trenchcoats before changing their name to the Bloos Magoos and then subsequently adopting the more conventional spelling, as they became fixtures on the Greenwich Village club scene. They signed with Mercury Records in 1966, where they emerged as pioneers of the Flower Power Psychedelic scene with their hit single “(We Ain’t Got) Nothing Yet,” off of their ground breaking album Psychedelic Lollipop. The Blues Magoos continued with psychedelic trappings for the album Electric Comic Book, which appeared in 1967, and the similarly constructed Basic Blues Magoos a year later in 1968. By 1972 the Blues Magoos name was retired, although the group reunited for live shows in the late 2000s. In 2011, the well-respected reissue label Sundazed Records delivered new editions of Psychedelic Lollipop and Electric Comic Book on CD and LP, while the label brought out The Mercury Singles 1966-1968 in 2016.
