"These guys are probably the BEST obscure 70s band out there. This album is a vital addition to anyone's collection. White Witch don't stick to any one style here, there's something for everyone. The MASTERPIECE on this CD is Crystallize And Realize, an acoustic space ballad that picks right up where early Bowie leaves off. Auntie Christy is a scary guitar driven hard rock jam, Walk On has a very Beatle influence- all of these styles are done without compromising the individual sound of this band. These guys were UNBELIEVABLY good! Till I found their band website on the net I had no idea this was even out on CD. The mastering on this disc is terrific compared to the vinyl (now I know what is said at the beginning of Slick Witch). This disc is different than their first CD but equally awesome. You will NOT be disppointed if you buy this disc!!!"

Sophisticated, fun, progressive, tragically unrecognized

"This music is so progressive, diverse, well-composed, and flawlessly executed that you will not believe it. Very catchy melodies, very heavy rhythms, very innovative sounds (for the 70's), great musicianship, it has it all. The compositions are not the kind that just take a couple of chord progressions and repeat them endlessly. Intead, they take you on a ride that doesn't often repeat itself. I have always considered it a major mystery that this group is not more well-known. I have and treasure the original albums, and wanted the music on CD so much that I carefully recorded them and transferred it to CD. Now that the real CDs are out, I will buy them both just to support whoever had the brilliance and good taste to release them."

TAKES ME BACK TO "HIGH" SCHOOL!!

"Who of us ,that enjoyed this when we were in our youth, would believe that we would actually see the year 2000. In 1974 it seemed unfathomable. Actually,I had thought this music would have been forgotten as Capricorn records bankrupted years ago. Im happy to see that they are back. These tunes on this CD are way before their time.It seems like they encompass eveything from BOWIE to Deep Purple coming in with some Guns n Roses and even Eric Claptons sound of guitar licks. We ll all ride high(Moneybag$) Showdown and Black Widow Lover are the highpoints but every one of these tracks are worth the bucks! NP"
