LUCIFER -- Same -- hard to find, original 1971 U.S. album. Unique, almost unclassifiable mixture of late 60's rock, soul, funk and country-rock from this obscure band with a similar vibe to the Chambers Brothers and Swamp Dogg; lead singer Eugene Smith's voice has an offbeat, urgent quality to it like Levon Helm's, grows on you the more you listen to it. Tracks like "Don't You (Think the Times A-Comin')", "Have You Heard" and "We Gotta Go" quite good, with an angry, social protest edge to a lot of the lyrics. An odd, rock-oriented album to find on the Holland-Dozier-Holland label Invictus, better known for The Chairmen of the Board, Freda Payne and Parliament's first LP. Hasn't been reissued on CD to my knowledge so the original vinyl still the only way to hear it. One of many (totally unrelated) groups called "Lucifer" during the late 60's and early 70's including Mort Garson's Lucifer/Black Mass, upstate N.Y. rock band called Lucifer etc. Other songs: Pearl For a Girl, Old Mother Nature, For Kids Only, In a Garden, Time Gonna Change Everything, Bloodshot Eyes, Laugh. Cover: VG+/VG++, still in shrink wrap, 1-1/2" split at lower right corner, cutout hold at upper right corner; removable price sticker on outside of shrink wrap (not on record cover itself). Record: VG++/VG+++, small surface mark at end of Track 2 on Side Two, appears read more
