Tony’s Thoughts

This album was recorded very quickly in late 1969.    Most of the songs we had been playing in club gigs at the time anyway, so recording them didn’t require a lot of extra time.  Not that we had any anyway, as there was no money to waste time in the studio!

  1. For me this is one of the greatest albums of all time. It’s a perfect horror movie for your ears. It defines what a Heavy Metal album should look and sound like.
