Stavia

Out-Sider present a reissue of The Brotherhood's Stavia, originally released in 1972. In 1972, Ohio-based band The Brotherhood released their only album, Stavia. It was a private edition of 200 copies, pressed at the legendary Rite custom plant. This rare album is a good example of US acid-rock/hippie psych with slight soul and funk influences: fantastic playing, swirling organ, powerful vocals, top guitar shredding, and flute. Stavia has always been one of those shrouded in mystery albums, so rare that some collectors even doubted it's existence. Bootlegged in the '90s in a butchered edition that included two songs from an unrelated band, here's the first ever legit reissue. Includes liner notes by band member John Hurd. Remastered sound.
