Post Description

A short-lived blues-rock quintet. The album sleeve depicts the band holding a black mass ceremony. The vinyl inside 
was a successful blend of originals and covers of compositions by blues kings like Otis Spann and B.B. King. It is now a significant collectable. Both sides of their sole 45 can also be heard on Polydor's 1970 Deep Overground Pop compilation. The group also recorded a very gutsy mono album at Central Sound in Denmark Street on 4-track. Polydor then decided to re-make the album in 8-track for stereo, and the released LP (regarded by the band as bland!) was recorded at IBC studios in Portland Place, over the course of a few days.

In fact they were slotted in the somewhat ridiculous hours of between 8.00am and 12 noon, as The Who were recording Tommy from noon to midnight, at the time! Reissue of this ultra rare 1969 U.K album originally released on Polydor. This re-issue contains the non LP tracks from the band's only release.
