The Lemon Drops, from Illinois, USA, were established by seven High School students in 1966. While active they released three singles in 1967, garnering regional success & airplay around Chicago. By 1968, record companies were expressing an interest in the band. The first offer by Uni records was refused by the band. The second deal couldn't be completed because the label Buena Vista went bankrupt before signing. Finally a third attempt went awry when the band would partake in an acid party the night before contract signing. However it would take nearly two decades before a compilation album of singles, rarities, outtakes and demos would re-invigorate interest in the band. Today the Lemon Drops are highly praised by record collectors.
