Description

1969 LP Witchcraft Destroys Minds & Reaps Souls by Coven.
---Beautiful condition --
Cover is still clean and like new.
Vinyl would be near mint,
(except for a long thin scuff mark on side two but this does not affect the playing.)
Looks like it was played only a few times. 

The Chicago-based rock act formed in the late 1960s and toured the hippie underground with a wild stage show that incorporated authentic Satanic rituals and a mix of brooding folk and raw psychedelia. Remarkably, they attracted major label attention and eventually earned themselves a hit record.
As the legend goes, Mercury Records withdrew Witchcraft Destroys Minds & Reaps Souls from stores after Esquire illustrated an “expose” on countercultural Satanism with a shot of Charles Manson holding Coven’s debut LP. Apparently there is such a thing as bad publicity (and anyone with a copy of said storied photo, please speak up).
So Coven pulled up stakes, leaving Chicago for the godless city of Los Angeles to start over. They caught a break when filmmaker Tom Laughlin asked them to cover a song first performed by Canadian pop band the Original Caste. “One Tin Soldier” served as the theme for Laughlin’s delirious cult hit Billy Jack, Warner Brothers released the single, and the rest is history.
