Music On Vinyl 180g LP ~ 1st time on vinyl ~ Cat.#: MOVLP 304

Not even a minor stroke could stop Five Horse Johnson from rockin' and, if anything, vocalist and harpist extraordinaire Eric Oblander's brush with the beyond only served to inspire the band's fifth album, 2006's The Mystery Spot, that much more.

German original LP (Vertigo "Spaceship) / Cat.#: Vertigo 6673 001 (6333 500 on label)

An amazingly bombastic concept album about the Apocalypse of St. John seen as a rock spectacle. Demis Roussos wails the lyrics in a frantically operatic falsetto, while the band pound fiercely through Vangelis' furiously complex music.
