Mystic Siva – Spinning A Spell (US 1969-70)

Second track from the album “Under The Influence” (1969-70) with some psychedelic art.

First issue of these recordings from 1969-70, packaged in a heavy duty book-like folder. “Previously unreleased recordings of Mystic Siva from Detroit, very famous in the psychedelic collector´s scene for their outstanding and rare original album (already reissued by WIS). The music here, recorded live prior to the album is taken from the mastertapes. The opener is an instrumental cut, followed by six diff. versions of original album tracks in very powerful style, mixed with four long acid jamming cover tunes turned into typical Siva style with pounding and hypnotic Hammond B3 organ, wailing and distorted fuzz/wah-wah guitarwork, powerful (sometimes Doors influenced) vocals and massive drums which lead you to the holy grail of psychedelic music.”

Unreleased gem from 1969/70 perhaps even better than the original album. Features mind melting arrangements of “Come Together”, “Tobacco Road”,”I’m A Man” and “Black Sheep” along with 7 of the groups own compositions. Live recordings from 1969-70 in Detroit with very good stereo sound. A legendary US psych band.
