Crystal Haze (1977)

Crystal Haze is an obscure demo type release from Decatur, Illinois circa 1977. Some really good hard rocking tunes here with above average guitar work - particularly on 'Truth of the Ages', 'January', and the latter part of 'Two Times Under'. There's also some folky ballads, a little boogie, and an opening guitar fronted instrumental. The creaky old organ is way too buried in the mix. A good one for private hard rock collectors, though not mandatory.

No legit reissues as of 9/6/25 though a pirate LP does exist (with new art work)
