"Monster heavy psych rarity form 1969.  Intense fuzz guitar compliments the sloppy garage ambience and chugging beat.  Known as one of the rarest LPs ever.  This is the real deal folks."

"Bent Wind was formed in 1969 in the Toronto, Ontario area of Canada . The original band consisted of Gerry Gibas( Guitar & vocals) Marty Roth (rhythm guitar, vocals) Sebastian Pelaia (bass) and Eddie Thomas (drums).

While only together for a short time the band recorded and released an album entitled, Sussex, in 1969 on the Trend label in Canada . The album was pressed in a very limited quantities and today there is believed to be less than 500 copies world wide.

The album quickly became one of the most sought after pieces of Canadian music and the album is now considered one of the rarest collectable albums in the world with original pressings fetching thousands of dollars on the collectors market. "


"This band can play straight-forward garage rock with a psychedlelic feel that is is clean with just the right amount of weird guitar sounds and bizzare lyrics. I really like the guitar breaks. The songs have a bluesy feel to them (think Cream/ Blues Magoos). "

"Filled with wonderful guitar work and the songwriting is strong throughout. The band deserved a much better fate, but like many bands of the day, with little backing from their label, were unable to survive financially.  Thisis well worth the investment. Gibas and Roth not only wrote strong material but delivered it with wonderful vocals. The songs stand as strong now as they did when originally released forty years earlier. Canadian garage/psych bands never got their due in the United States, and this is certainly true of Bent Wind. Had the band landed a contract with a major US label and received some much deserved publicity and monetary support, they might well have hit big. Original vinyl copies of "Sussex" fetch as much as $5,000 and it is among the most desired of all Canadian garage/psych albums ever. Record collectors around the world have long sung the praises of "Sussex." I strongly suggest that you invest in it and find out what they are raving about. "

"A volcanic dose of intense fuzz guitar and the perfect compliment to the band's sloppy garage ambience and chugging beat. A strange case indeed as the music on Sussex is often overshadowed by the fact that the album is one of the rarest of '60's psychedelic albums. A pity as the music is as psychedelic as they come - a veritable fuzz guitar inferno."
