TRACK HIGHLIGHT - Cease To Exist

Sessions began as four separate tracks by each member of the band before being cut into a medley.

This is conceptually and sonically the heaviest track on the album and a fan favourite for over 50 years.

TRACK HIGHLIGHT - Super Dry Dance

What started as a jam morphed into an experimental soundscape with sessions dating back as early as 1971.

Clean, unedited versions are currently only available on bootlegs.

TRACK HIGHLIGHT - Winters White

An early version of this track was recorded late in 1973- finished in April '74.

As for those who have, thank you so much. I never thought I'd ever have to file album sales on my tax forms; it's pretty rock and roll!

Nothing huge planned for 2025, but there'll likely be some more music in your ears at some point...
