Finally re-pressed and now remastered after two years here is the album by this legendary garage band from Humbolt, Iowa. Taken from the original master tapes the one and only self titled album was originally released on IGL in 1970 and only 800 copies were pressed 500 of which were destroyed before it even got released. All former members of the band worked closely with GEAR FAB to realise this great CD which is a god send for those who do not wish to pay up to $500 for an original. Includes one bonus track that was orignally recorded under the name SHADRACK.
