Music Emporium

Los Angeles psychedelic rock quartet that recorded one self-titled album in 1969; members included Bill "Casey" Cosby, Dora Wahl, Carolyn Lee and Dave Padwin.

Released the self-titled album Music Emporium in 1969 (cited in review as 'Music Emporium "Self-titled" (Sundazed Music, 1969)') and dissolved a year later after Bill "Casey" Cosby's departure.

Giuseppe Rubino's DeBaser review presents Music Emporium as an overlooked 1969 Los Angeles psychedelic quartet whose lone self-titled album blends Farfisa-driven psychedelia with free-jazz, classical and avant-garde touches. The review calls the record a "true masterpiece" and attributes the band's short life to Bill "Casey" Cosby's departure. The album is framed as a beautiful but inglorious debut.
