INTRODUCTION - PRIVATE PRESS VERSION by WITCH
Description
Archival reissue of the private-press, first issue of the album that launched Zamrock movement in 1972. Completely different recordingsof the songs from the better-known Zambia Music Parlour album. Originally pressed in a run of just a few hundred copies and sold by the band at their live shows, this is the first ever reissue of this garage-rock masterpiece
Witch's musical arc is contained to a five year span and, in retrospect, is a logical one. The band’s first two, self-produced albums - released in unison with the birth of the commercial Zambian recording industry – are exuberant experiments in garage rock, and are as influenced by the Rolling Stones as they are James Brown. Thus Introduction, their first, is the perfect starting point for anyone interested in delving into the Witchband, or Zamrock in general.
