Charisma - Beasts and Fiends 1970

The second Charisma album, entitled Beasts and Fiends, was recorded during the summer of 1970 at the Record Plant in NYC and released on Roulette Records. The executive producer was Ed Vallone and the producer was Bruce McGaw. This time the band got their way. They wrote all the material and contrary to the contractual stuff, Charisma produced the album with the help of Jack Hunt, who always voted with the band. The first one or two songs were recorded in Studio A at street level. But the rest were recorded in Studio C on the 10th floor, a secluded-feeling location in the middle of Manhattan. Album cover by Suzi Langlois, who also created the stage scenery and generally tried to get the band to do stuff other than just sit or stand there staring at their instruments. Wounded Bird
