Bonniwell, Sean "Night of the Witches" [Emerald Green Vinyl]

The late rock’n’roll iconoclast Sean Bonniwell is famous among garage rockers and proto punks alike for his leadership of the incomparable Music Machine and their 1966 nugget, “Talk Talk.” Now, in cooperation with the Bonniwell estate, Real Gone Music is exploring a side of the enigmatic singer-songwriter that very few know about. After the demise of the Machine, Bonniwell briefly moved into soundtrack work and oversaw the scores to a handful of cult “B” movies, among them 1970’s Night of the Witches and 1971’s Day of the Wolves. These two are now being issued for the very first time by Real Gone Music, lovingly remastered from the original source tapes for top-notch sound, and presented on standalone vinyl LPs featuring original promotional artwork. 1970’s Night of The Witches is a bizarre, acid-tinged horror fantasy, with death dances, corrupt preachers, and psychedelic priestesses. The exceptionally groovy soundtrack features heavy dollops of fuzz guitar, organ, and funky backbeat, with four vocal numbers including the darkly downbeat, Bowie-esque “Down to the Sky,” which is already enjoying club spins in Europe. Never available in any format…pressed on emerald green vinyl limited to 900 copies!
