To get a feel for what you’re in for on the latest entry of Numero’s Warfaring Strangers series, check out the track list: “Speed Freak,” “Hypodermic Needle,” “Pink Pills,” “Acid Raga,” “Acid Nightmare,” “Acid” (performed by a band called Acid) … “Drugs”!! Too many bad trips in the hippie era prompted an entire generation to toss out the free love and floral headbands in favor of motorcycle jackets, overdrive pedals and devil worship. Warfaring Strangers: Acid Nightmares collects 18 “distorted tales of dope fiends, pill poppers, and the baddest of trips lifted from the ashes of the acid rock hell fire.” You won’t find any Led Zeppelin or Deep Purple here, only the rarest of the rare proto-metal burners taken from limited run 7-inches and private press LPs which would cost you a small fortune outside of this comp. 'Neon blotter' colored vinyl pressing packaged in characteristically fine style by The Numero Group, housed in heavy duty blacklight poster-style sleeve with 24-page booklet containing photos and extensive liner notes.
