First legit reissue of this classic hard rock/proto-prog album. Power Of Zeus was a Detroit area band that recorded this one off album for Motown's Rare Earth subsidiary in 1970. At the time Motown was trying to branch out into other styles of music. Rare Earth was one of their first non-R'n'B bands and gave them their own imprint. They signed other artists and stuck them on this label as well. Power Of Zeus was a quartet consisting of guitar/organ/bass/drums. Their are some musical similarities to Atlantis Philharmonic although clearly more from the hard rock side of the spectrum as opposed to the prog side. Organ figures quite prominently in the overall sound playing off the heavy guitar leads. This one clearly has the sounds of the early 70s. One listen and you can understand why collectors have been shelling out $$ for copies of this over the years. I'm not familiar with this reissue label but they did a nice job - digipak and the transfer was taken from the original analog tapes.
