here's the scoop on this LP from Joynson's psych reference
"Fuzz,Acid & Flowers"
Originally known as Walpurgis, we have been told that the band were re-named
by their manager as Phantom, and we know that the line-up which recorded Divine
Comedy definitely came from Rochester, a small town about 30 miles from Detroit.
On both albums the vocalist sounds like Jim Morrison and indeed Capitol Records issued
a statement that it was leading to legal action by Elektra.
What of the music? Divine Comedy is highly rated by many, it has a mystical sound and is
recommended. Tales From A Wizard and Welcome To Hell, which are both rather
melodramatic, are arguably the strongest tracks but a consistent standard is maintained
throughout.
