Description
You must physically hold this album, kneel at its altar; we will fail to describe it. Medusa’s First Step Beyond might have forever shifted the perception of Chicago rock history had it managed to make the leap from tape to its never-realized vinyl pressing. Instead, the conflagation of Sabbath, Hawkwind, and Amon DuulII remained petrified in the Corycian Caverns - otherwise known as the drummer's basement. Self produced on four track in 1975, this lone transmission from Medusa's repertoire appeared on the extremely mysterious Pepperhead label, whose proprietor allegedly disappeared after a bad trip and was never seen again. Forged in ceremonial mock-velvet, custom embossed in Gorgon-gold and blood-red, and art directed in accordance with the band's elaborate original stage props and artwork, we have positioned this unreleased opus to finally reach its destination: the stereos of pot-smoking and leather-clad teenagers, young and old. The expanded CD version (also ensconced in ceremonial mock-velvet with embossed artwork) boasts a wealth of new band photos and ephemera as well as three additional tracks not available on the LP.

Tracklist
1. Strangulation
2. Transient Amplitude
3. Frustration's Fool
4. Temptress
5. Feelings of Indifference
6. Black Wizard
7. Unknown Fear
Bonus Tracks:
8. Isle of Let Be
9. Shatterd (Father Bother)
10. Think Harder

Numero haven't made a promo trailer for the new CD edition above, but they did produce this for the vinyl version a couple of years ago:
