These are the demo tapes done for Black Widow's first album "Sacrifice" issued in 1970 and the result is way better! There is much more than just the well known single, "Come To The Sabbat" on this album.
AMG says "Few albums have undergone such a dramatic transformation in their fortunes as Black Widow's Sacrifice. Best known for so long on the strength of one track ("Come to the Sabbat") on an early-'70s CBS sampler, Sacrifice was for so long the guilty secret of a mere handful of prog fans that it felt like it might never be rediscovered. But it was and, today, no less than three full versions of the seven-song opus are available on CD."
Malo were led by Jorge (brother of Carlos) Santana. Whilst this album has similarities to Santana albums of that period, the accent is more on the "Latin" and less on the "Rock" of Latin Rock.
Back in the day, I was sure that they would be bigger than Led Zep - I still listen to Iron Butterfly more often but have never seen this release. Cheers
One of those great lost bands that I'd not have heard of if not for (I think) Audion. The opening track is quite frantic, I thought it was pitched up at first.
Thanks to @confused for the introduction back in early 2020.
The outstanding s/t 1972 album by French band Moving Gelatine Plates. Canterbury scene style Prog Rock.
AMG says "On their impressive 1971 debut, France's Moving Gelatine Plates create a unique brand of jazz-influenced progressive rock. Parts of the album are reminiscent of the music recorded by groups from England's Canterbury scene (e.g., Soft Machine), but the Moving Gelatine Plates' driving rhythms and catchy thematic shifts set the band apart from their English counterparts."

And thanks to you for the reminder. Don't think I'd heard their first before and it's a long time since I heard their second and some would say better album The World of Genius Hans (with the smoking cow on the cover). Also I had no idea that they'd reformed twice, I'll be checking out some of that later but for now...
Actually that link is to a version that contains 1980 era bonus material as well as the full 2nd album.
Hearing this for the first time in a half-century or so...I was just a kid, but my sister had a copy! Prompted by a series of events commemorating the short but brilliant career of the producer Charles Stepney. Never really new the story before...An attempt, to some degree successful, by the son of the Chess Records founder to tap into the psychedelic vein, using local Chicago talent
"Songs of Leonard Cohen" the 1967 album by Leonard Cohen. Brings back great memories with songs like "So Long Marianne", Suzanne" and "Sisters of Mercy".
AMG says "While the Stooges had a few obvious points of influence -- the swagger of the early Rolling Stones, the horny pound of the Troggs, the fuzztone sneer of a thousand teenage garage bands, and the Velvet Underground's experimental eagerness to leap into the void -- they didn't really sound like anyone else around when their first album hit the streets in 1969.....Part of the fun of The Stooges is, then as now, the band managed the difficult feat of sounding ahead of their time and entirely out of their time, all at once."

Try track 7 - "Dreams"
and track 9 - "Lonely"

Highly regarded and excellent music.

That's a great song, not sure I've heard it before. I know the name, sort of, via Wigwam.
