Remastered vinyl edition of this 1976 album from the San Francisco-based Psych-Funk band. The original title of the album was meant to be Sativa, but out of fear that promoting the joys of marijuana would be too controversial, the band omitted the title and just left it as Aura. As a strange side note, it was the producer of underground psychedelic band The Lemon Drops, Reggie Weiss, who wrote the Psych-Funk title track, Sativa (a parody of The Champs hit song Tequila, with water pipe sound effects and blistering guitar leads by former Lemon Drops guitarist, Eddie Weiss) and Skyrocket (with manic fuzz guitar). The lead singer of Aura was Paulette Collins, who still performs around the Bay Area today with an all-girl group called The Taylor P. Collins Band.
