The C.A. Quintet, from Minneapolis, was a Psychedelic music band active in the late 60's. They failed to gain national notoriety during their heyday. Their only LP released during the band's existence, Trip thru hell, sold less than 1000 copies and was virtually unheard of outside of their home town. Despite it's miniscule intitial distribution, the record slowly gained popularity over the next twenty years among collectors and musicians. Due to increasing demand,it was rereleased in the early 80's, then released on CD in 1994, on the Sundazed label, including their singles and unreleased material. A live album was released in 1986 of their last performance as a group, rereleased in 2006 with additional material.
