THE GREEN SHAG! "GOOD RECORDS FOR GOOD PEOPLE!"
LUCIFER'S FRIEND / LUCIFER'S FRIEND
1973 BILLINGSGATE 1st US PRESS
••••• ESSENTIAL and always HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER...one of the HEAVIEST PROTO-METAL EARLY HARD PSYCH MONSTER ALBUMS. The band lineage speaks for itself from Asterix to Uriah Heep and beyond, the mnusicianship is top notch and the wailing howling vocals of John Lawton are unparalleled. "Ride the Sky" hails the coming of the storm with absolutely thrashing heavy metal guitars and throbbing organ. The reputation of the album in the underground & collector's circles is well-deserved, as it hold up today as a truly heavy rock experience as well as remaining influential on current underground metal & doom / psych bands. BRILLIANT.
