What you are bidding on is a beautiful pressing of COVEN: WITCHCRAFT DESTROYS MINDS AND REAPS SOULS.  This rock rarity is on the MERCURY RECORDS label from the USA.  If you need this lp, this is the one. Beautiful.  This is from a DJ's collection, that was rarely played if ever. FIRST pressing.  No bar code.  This is the real deal, first pressing.  It would be hard to find a better copy. 

With an elaborate package released on Mercury in 1969, a good trivia question can be made of the fact that bassist Oz Osborne performs on this album, whose opening track is "Black Sabbath," while John "Ozzy" Osbourne of Black Sabbath was allegedly busy playing bass in Magic Lanterns, hitting the Top 30 in 1968 with "Shame, Shame" (Ozzy listed as Mike Osbourne with Magic Lanterns! ). That the group Black Sabbath formed in 1969 when this album was issued seems to indicate that Witchcraft Destroys Minds and Reaps Souls may have had more than a little influence on the more popular heavy metal band. Also notable is the fact that the majority of the songwriting on this disc is by guitarist Jim Donlinger, who a year later in 1970 would move on to drummer Michael Tegza's reincarnation of H.P. Lovecraft, known simply as Lovecraft on its Reprise recording.
