Mini-LP CD An extraordinary album devised by a remarkable talent.
The late Graham Bond was one of the founding fathers of the British R&B movement. As a singer, organist and
saxophone player, he was full of dynamic energy and came to fame with such groups as the Graham Bond
Organisation and Ginger Baker's Airforce.
Holy Magick was the band he formed after leaving Airforce and this was their debut album.
It was Bond's idea to set occult texts to music - part of his growing obsession with mysticism. Originally released
on the Vertigo label in 1971, the tracks consist of improvised pieces intended to recreate rituals such as 'The
Qabalistic Cross' and '12 Gates To The City'. John Moreshead (guitar), Victor Brox (piano and Tibetan dhong) and
Keith Bailey (drums) are among the fine musicians who took part in this unusual and weird experiment. • Original vinyl artwork in square CD
