inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.

USA - UNI Records - 73004 stereophonic
Most of the material presented on this record pays apparent homage to the crude and cross brew of snotty fuzzed-out blues based raw rock of The Lollipop Shoppe Van Morrison s Them, the early Rolling Stones and the Pretty Things.
Anchored by filthy vocals growling, snarling with bile, Lead-off track Six Feet Down moves at a slow and haunting pace, while Speed crackles and crunches with clattering guitars and edgy harmonies. Blending eerie tones with gritty rock rhythms, Painted Woman and A Garden Where Nothing Grows hang fast as other notable songs on Creation, along with numbing take on It s All over Now Baby Blue and Screaming Jay Hawkins I Put A Spell On You.
As attested by these tracks, the Druids of Stonehenge were masters of melancholy. Motivated by doom and gloom, the band produced a stupefying spooky sound.
Imagine the Chocolate Watchband jamming with the Lollipop Shoppe, and that should give you some idea what zone the Druids of Stonehenge operated in.
The New York-based Druids of Stonehenge front-man Dave Budge, guitarists Carl Hauser and Bill Tracy, bassist Tom Workman and drummer Steve Tindall exemplified both the surly essence of teen garage-punk and the experimental spirit of psychedelia.
The CREATION OF STONEHENGE formed in 1965 as a scrappy, R B-influenced teen combo in the early Rolling Stones/Pretty Things mold. By 1968, the Druids had fused psychedelia to their wild garage roots, relocated to the West Coast and signed with the UNI label.
The Druids of Stonehenge unveiled their retooled sound with this LP Creation, which revealed the quintet to be one of the toughest, most imaginative outfits of its era, maintaining both a forceful, earthy edge and an ethereal air of mystery. Those qualities were manifested in Budge s snarling, Jaggeresque vocals and the band s tense, punchy playing, which elevated such memorable originals as Six Feet Down, Earthless A Garden Where Nothing Grows and Pale Dream, as well as their distinctive reworkings of Baby Blue, and Arthur Lee Love s Signed D.C. ....Throughout the decades, the band and the album have gained immensely in stature and prestige among garage-psych aficionados and 60s devotees, with original copies of Creation becoming sought-after collectibles.
