- Expertly remastered - superb
sound. This was the Leicester based progressive rockers' last (and some say finest) album, that was
released in 1971 to rave reviews throughout Europe.
On this set of dynamic performances, John Culley (guitarist, ex-Cressida) replaced founder
member Jim Gannon, but the group retained their original lead singer. Although initially caught
up in the black magic cult that briefly influenced rock fashions and trends in the early
Seventies, Black Widow moved away from that scene and began to develop their own image
and sound, with an album long considered a collector's item.
The six tracks (including the 3-part 'The Battle') had a profound influence on the future
development of rock and metal, and this album still retains its power to excite. TRACKLISTING:
1. The Battle
