This is Side A & B of Vincent Price's Spoken Word Album of 'Witchcraft and Magic' 'An Adventure in Demonology'
It's a wonderful album, and much of what is read is taken from the Book of the Shadows.
Approaching the subject of Magic, like
approaching the subject of religion is a complex and monumental task.
Magic is as old as consciousness, as exclusive as sundust and as mystical as the mind itself.
The matter of magic in all its nuances is infinite.
In this album, the producers have attempted to bring to the listener the essential elements of Witchcraft and Magic authentically and dramatically.
Mr. d'Oberoff's script is historically sound and beautifully written, with satanic, dramatic brilliance.
Mr. Price's interpretation is indeed masterful.
His voice surrounds you, lifts your mind and transports it across the landscape of Hell. His articulation chews every word and savours every bite.
Vall fears the mouth of magic. Those
gaping jaws leading to grey realities expose a lizard's tongue lying ready to curl us mortal flies into the bowels of the unknown.
But we fly closer, you and I, drawn by uncertainties, magnetised by the strange attraction to plunge ourselves recklessly toward possible perils and potential enlightenment.
So play the album. Travel for
awhile with the definitive recorded work on Witchcraft and Magic.
A voyager here will never return the same.
Roger Karshner, Producer
