the Tampa scene (Outsiders, Soul Trippers and Noah's Ark), White Witch

GREAT LP! How many bands do a concept LP on their first release? The layered vocals of Ronn Goedert are brilliant. He does go a bit camp with his high wailing voice, (Which I like!) but that same voice drops down & lays out some brilliant Beatle-esque vocals. Buddy Richardson bows his guitar & Pendergrass wraps that space moog around all of it. It's pre-glam space rock & it's on a southern rock label!

Could be my favorite all time album. ( avid collector during the ‘70s til about 1984.) I owned 10,000 units of music at one time. Next to the first Captain Beyond( also on Capricorn records) The romance of this magical record never lets me down. I know every note by heart but there is so much going on in each song that I never get tired of it. The second album only touches on the brilliance of the first record but so happy it exists.( Get the Ronn Goedert solo album, it is rumored to be WW3!!!! Label refused to release it under the banner of the former.
