track listing:

1. Witch Burning
2. My Sweet Jane
3. Why
4. You Can't Run My Life
5. You're Just a Dream
6. Bare Tree
7. Drifter



Been really getting into this album lately.  it is truly a lost early 70's Holy Grail of dark doom riffs and eerie Moog synth (the Moog they used had the serial number of 0023).Singer even sounds kinda like Rob Halford at points,screaming way before Halford. anybody else heard this???

Love everything about it.

Sounds like a cross between coven and bloodrock. With a little synth for good measure.

And that moog is trippy.

I picked up the '99 repress of this on 180 gram vinyl today.  It is amazing.

Took me awhile, but i'm warming up to this.
The crazy synth sounds are worth the price of admission alone. Creepy-crawly.

It's worth tracking down a copy if you can find one.  I'm sure you may be able to find one on ebay or something.  Definitely worth the cash though.

Excellent album.  Witchy grindhouse psych.
