WITCH - In The Past - LP - Opaque Green Vinyl [DEC 12]

LP - Opaque Green Vinyl

This landmark recording from Now-Again’s comprehensive overview of Zambia’s premier garage-, psych-, prog-, funk-, afro-rock ensemble WITCH (We Intend To Cause Havoc), is now available in a never-before-seen color variant. The audio is nigh-perfect — restored and remastered from the original master tapes.

WITCH’s musical arc is contained to a five-year span and, in retrospect, is a logical one. The band’s first two self-produced albums - released in unison with the birth of the commercial Zambian recording industry - are exuberant experiments in garage rock, and are as influenced by the Rolling Stones as they are James Brown.

In The Past, their second album, is the perfect follow-up for anyone exposed to the WITCH band through their landmark Introduction.

“Electrified by a diet of James Brown, the Stones and Deep Purple, WITCH were the stadium-filling kings of 70s Zamrock," MOJO
