Released in Roseville, Michigan on VO Recording 1971. Private pressing of a heavy acid garage psych album by MYSTIC SIVA ~ Al Tozzi - Guitar, Dave Mascarin - Drums Vocal, Marc Heckert - Organ Vocal, Art Thienel - Bass Vocal. Its amazing the level of popularity and worldwide interest in this album over all these decades. This foursome from Detroit created one of the most wanted artifacts in the psychedelic garage collectors scene. This album is the official release with original artwork, thick foldout cover and thick vinyl.

This is the sale of ONE of Al Tozzi's, the lead guitar player, personal stash of original Mystic Siva albums. Thirty plus years ago Al was so surprised by the super serious collectors who tracked him down, traveling here in person, many from far away, looking for originals. So if you already are lucky enough to have an original Mystic Siva album in your collection it probably began its journey to you from our home. Don't laugh but during the 80's Al was a collector of all the many bootleg versions of this album no matter how poorly reproduced. Al also enjoyed working with Wolfgang Reuther of World in Sound on the official re-issue. Plus he was totally amazed when the German version of Rolling Stone in March 2004 featured Supernatural Mind on its sampler disc. Not bad for young man from Detroit in the early 70's.

These albums have been stored in an unused spare bedroom closet in the lead guitar players home. They have been untouched since 1989 when Al and I moved here until his death last year. Please review recent sales of original albums on popsike before bidding. Currently I have just a few albums to sell, some never opened, and after that there will be no more. 2 now and then 4 later.
