WE'LL BE POSTING RECORDINGS SOON Just rediscovered my first excursion into the blogging world. The intent of this blog is to bring rare, obscure, and esoteric recordings to light. I look forward to digitizing old LPs and bring to you the lost treasures that have sat undiscovered for most of our listening years.
Interviews with some of America's leading occult spokes'men and women in their respective fields, explaining their work in their own voices, with a narrative which weaves it all together in an illuminating whole.
Experts cover topics such as Astrology, Yoga, Mysticism, UFO's, Witchcraft, Satanism, Reincarnation, ESP, Psychic Phenomena, Spiritualism, Indian Magic, and Meditation.
This recording is based on Nat Freedland's book of the same name. Released as a double LP record set in 1973. A tripped out Gatefold sleeve, incorporating a 12 page booklet (w. illus. by Wilfried Satty), written by Freedland, a former LA Free Press columnist. Recordings feature interviews with, among others, Anton Szandor LaVey (Satanism), Alan Watts (Meditation), Thelma Moss (ESP), the artist/illustrator Satty, and two "Satanic inspired rock recordings" by British rockers Black Widow. These two tracks are satanic rock at its finest! HAIL SATAN!
FROM LINER NOTES: "Flying saucers, witchcraft, Satanism, reincarnation, ESP and psychic phenomena in general, what's it all about? More and more people are asking themselves this question as these things appear more frequently in magazines and newspapers, on TV, and wherever people gather to talk."
"This LP organizes, summarizes, and places in clearly understandable context the many confusing aspects of the Occult."
"Explore Invisible doorways to that misunderstood and endlessly fascinating place, the world of the occult."

Negro Prison Songs from The Mississippi State Penitentiary Historical Recordings From Parchman Farm 1947-48.
1. No More, My Lawd 2. Old Alabama 3. Black Women 4. Jumpin' Judy 5. Whoa Buck 6. Prettiest Train 7. Old Dollar Mamie 8. It Makes A Long Time Man Fell Bad
A collection of songs recorded at the Mississippi State Penitentiary in or around [195-]. Soulful songs with the beat of cans, chains, and the stomp of feet. It Makes A Long Time Man Feel Bad is a fun sad and spirited song. The solos are ver powerful and all together richly African American.
"These songs belong to the musical tradition which Africans brought to the New World, but they are also as American as the Mississippi River. They were born out of the very rock and earth of this country, as black hands broke the soil, moved, reformed it, and rivers of stinging sweat poured upon the land under the blazing heat of Southern skies, and are mounted upon the passion that this struggle with nature brought forth. They tell us the story of the slave gang, the sharecropper system, the lawless work camp, the chain gang, the pen." --Alan Lomax
