ULTRA RARE
STUNNING TOP COPY ARTIFACT (none better)
Hammond organist/singer/namesake Norman Haines was a key member of underground British prog-rock band Locomotive, which cut the highly regarded album
1970-1971 ENGLAND
Norman Haines then recruited lead guitarist Neil Clarke, singer/bassist Andy Hughes, and drummer Jimmy Skidmore for a new venture they called "Sacrifice"
In 1970 the vaunted Parlophone label signed 'Sacrifice' to a recording contract. Apparently unhappy with the bands name, Parlophone marketing executives unilaterally decided to finance an album, calling it "Thr Norman Haines Bamd." With Tony Hall in the producer’s chair, 1971’s “Den of Iniquity” was recorded at Abbey Road Studios, London England.

Only partially true and not a particularly accurate description. Propelled by the combination of Haines’ blistering voice and often gushing Hammond organ and Clarke’s fantastic guitar, the results managed to combine razor sharp hard rock, blues-rock and psych tones.
‘Finding My Way Home’ and ‘Everything You See (Mr. Armageddon)’ (the latter previously recorded by Locomotive) should have held equal appeal to free form FM underground audiences.
Stylistically "Den Of Iniquity" begins the album in ripping, menacing driving and catchy form... further on the recording finds the band stretching out including on a pair of largely jamming blues-rock oriented numbers. Not quite as dynamic as side one, the 13 minute ‘Rabbits’ and ‘Life Is So Unkind’ served to spotlight the band’s Hammond orann / biting guitar prowess -- guitarist Clarke in particular getting a chance to showcase his first-rate playing.
With little support from EMI the LP didn’t exactly burn up the charts, though part of the blame may have rested with the choice of the groups cover art work. The 'Heinrich Kley' drawing was pretty stunning and some British retailers apparently refused to stock the album.
Finally, when the band failed to capture the following they rightly deserved, they called it quits in 1972, leaving vinyl enthusiasts with a much hailed effort =even when rated so = years later.
Extremely difficult to locate in any condition.
