MEGA SOUGHT AFTER Original 1968 first pressing of a snarling electrified garage punker to be played loud!

The rare MONO version reflects the ULTIMATE powerful punch throughout! 

Most of the material presented on the record pays apparent homage to the crude and crass blues laced rock of Them, the Rolling Stones and the Pretty Things. Anchored by filthy vocals growling and snarling with bile, “Six Feet Down” moves at a slow and haunting pace, while “Speed” crackles and crunches with clattering guitars and edgy harmonies. Blending eerie tones with gritty rock rhythms, “Painted Woman” and “A Garden Where Nothing Grows” hang fast as other notable songs on “Creation,” along with numbing covers of Bob Dylan’s “It’s All over Now Baby Blue” and Screaming Jay Hawkins’ “I Put A Spell On You.” As attested by these tracks, the Druids of Stonehenge were masters of melancholy. Motivated by doom and gloom, the band produced a stupefying spooky sound. Imagine the Chocolate Watchband jamming with Black Sabbath, and that should give you some idea what zone the Druids of Stonehenge operated in. The New York-based Druids of Stonehenge?frontman Dave Budge, guitarists Carl Hauser and Bill Tracy, bassist Tom Workman and drummer Steve Tindall?exemplified both the surly essence of teen garage-punk and the experimental spirit of psychedelia. The band formed in 1965 as a scrappy, R&B-influenced teen combo in the Rolling Stones/Pretty Things mold. By 1968, the Druids had fused psychedelia to their wild garage roots, relocated to the West Coast and signed with the UNI label. The Druids of Stonehenge unveiled their retooled sound with Creation, which revealed the quintet to be one of the toughest, most imaginative outfits of its era, maintaining both a forceful, earthy edge and an ethereal air of mystery. Those qualities were manifested in Budge’s snarling, Jaggeresque vocals and the band’s tense, punchy playing, which elevated such memorable originals as “Six Feet Down,” “Earthless” "A Garden Where Nothing Grows" and “Pale Dream,” as well as their distinctive reworkings of “It’s All Over Now, "Baby Blue,” and Arthur Lee & Love’s “Signed D.C.” ....Throughout the decades, the band and the album have gained immensely in stature and prestige among garage-psych aficionados and ’60s devotees, with original copies of Creation becoming sought-after collectibles.
