Medusa - First Step Beyond () (Vinyl)

You must physically hold this album, kneel at it'saltar; we will fail to describe it. Medusa's First StepBeyond might have forever shifted the perceptionof Chicago rock history had it managed to makethe leap from tape to it's never-realized vinylpressing. Instead, the conflagration of Sabbath,Hawkwind, and Amon Duul II remained petrifiedin the Corycian Caverns-otherwise known as thedrummer's basement. Self-produced on four trackin 1975, this lone transmission from Medusa'srepertoire appeared on the extremely mysteriousPepperhead label, whose proprietor allegedlydisappeared after a bad trip and has never beenseen again. Forged in ceremonial mock-velvet,custom embossed in Gorgon-gold and blood-red,and art directed in accordance with the band'selaborate original stage props and artwork, we havepositioned this unreleased opus to finally reach it'sdestination: the turntables of pot-smoking andleather-clad teenagers, young and old.
