Return to the Sabbat [Import]

Return to the Sabbat [Import]

Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Reissue of the original recording of the 1970 LP 'Sacrfice' by dark metal pioneers Black Widow, a top 30 album in the U.K. at the time. Recorded in 1969, this version differs from the subsequent release in that it features Kay Garret alongside frontman Kip Trevor on the vocals to all seven cuts, rather than the later release with just Trevor's vocals. The record was cut when they went by their first name of Pesky Gee. 1998 Mystic Records release. NOTE: if youturn the artwork counterclockwise 90 degrees, it becomes a scary, hairy face!

Tracks:

In Ancient Ways
Way To Power

Lost Gem.......2005-12-03

If you like serious occult lyrics and 60's psych music with an atmosphere allit's own, give this disc a try. I love this disc! The only reason for giving it 4 stars and not 5 is that the sound quality is weak in places due to the original source. If you're already a Black Widow fan, get this disc! Kay Garret's voice is fantastic! This may lack the intensity and polish of Sacrifice, but it more than compensates by it's raw purity.

Previously unreleased version of Sacrifice.......2002-01-29

Just to let everyone know, this isn't actually a reissue of Black Widow's 1970 album Sacrifice, but rather an original 1969 recording of Sacrifice with a second vocalist, Kay Garret. This version had only surfaced recently. Apparently what happened as the band was recording Sacrifice, Kay Garret left, and the band re-recorded that album for CBS and the re-recorded version was the one that got released in 1970 as Sacrifice. This original 1969 collected dust until the late 1990s. If you've heard Sacrfice, you'll noticed while the music is basically more or less the same, the arragements are a little different, such as "Seduction" where there were strings on Sacrifice, there are no strings on this version, and a Hammond organ is in its place. Also if you heard Return to the Sabbat, it sure seems refreshing to hear these songs sung by a female vocalist as well, something you won't find on Sacrifice. Black Widow did actually record a proper album with Kay Garret, but it was under a different name called Pesky Gee. Pesky Gee released one album in 1969 called Exclamation Mark. I haven't heard that one, but I understand it contains a lot of cover songs like Jethro Tull's "Dharma For One", Janis Joplin's "Piece of my Heart", Steppenwolf's "Born to be Wild", and Family's "Piece of Mind" (it so happens that Family was also from Leicestershire, just like Pesky Gee/Black Widow, so I'm sure the band knew Family). So if you like Sacrifice, and you like a slightly different twist to that album, be sure to get Return to the Sabbat.
