Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Highly collectible = VERY hard to find, 1971 first pressing in thick gatefold cover ...the first of three albums released by this hairy crew, and whatta heavy beast this is ! ...grinding distortion guitar and ROARING Hammond organ >>> Power Bombs all over the place!
For anyone into the sound of the Danish LP monster "Old Man & The Sea" meets early "Black Sabbath" best check this LP out!
Wall-Of-Sound crunchy guitar riffing Sabbath doom -=-=- gushing swerving organ swells and wailing classic-style vocals...the thunderous punch of first LP Sabbath takes the high road into progressive psych adventures. IF this were American, the Lp would be off the charts in popularity ...as it is, fairly still unknown and overall the listener gets to deal with a thrilling beast lying in wait...
DIONYSOS experiments with a heady mix of hard edged psychedelia prog & blues rock ...highlighted by the monstrous chaos of the 12+ minute "Narcotique" which explore the contemporary themes of the day such as drug use and organized religion...
One of Quebec's earliest and most historically important albums is Dionysos' debut "Life's Big Game"
The opening 12-min+ "Narcotique" is a typical Dionysos blues-based structure, coming with plenty of drama, interplay, interludes and changes of tempo, enough to raise the hair from your arms.
Elsewhere:
"Suzie" is a good standard 12-bar Blues hardrock number that's is oh-so groove-able...
"La Colère" is a fuzz guitar piece that emulates anger...a killer track !
Even more interesting is the 8-min+ "L'Age Du Chlore", an up-tempo raving heavy affair evenly shared between organ and guitar battles reminiscent of Deep Purple "In Rock" ...even whirling flute fights the guitar for supremacy early on, with the organ lurking just under, underlined by the efficient drumming until coming back with more energetic with a vengeful searing distortion guitar. The album closes on the "Agneau De Dieu" ("God's Lamb"), the albums best track (and they're all great tracks) ...this one, menacing heavy riff guitar that creeps into an uprising ...literally explodes in climax ending with a mighty fury of guitar & hard driving organ explosives... the vocal commands a long wail that gradually fades, as if falling off a cliff ...
