I am Bob Ponton's ex and was at the recording of this single. Bob co-wrote the song and Ken sang along in the chorus. I used to have copies, but due to removals etc, seem to have lost it. I'd be very grateful if anyone could help me with this. Bob's thinking of re-releasing it. Many thanks, Sabine sabine.muir@talk21.com Has anyone got a copy of the single described?

I was trying to remember who it was gave me that single, forgot it was you! And yes, it's still in pretty good condition, it was kept in a vinyl sleeve and rarely played. Thanks too for the link, I was hoping that might be confirmed somewhere. Doesn't surprise me that Jimmy Page bought a load of them. Those plastic things for jukebox singles seem to be called...middles. Or adaptors. Which is rather dull, you'd expect them to have a unique name. This site has some nice fancy aluminium ones: http://www.45central.co.uk/products.html Hi Jok. I was trying to remember who it was gave me that single, forgot it was you!

Anyway, it is Ken on "incantation" according to the other members of Chakra according to this: http://greengalloway.blogspot.com/2007/01/kenneth-grant-makes-first-ever-punk.html Oh, and those plastic discs are invaluable to reggae bores with collections of Jamaican sevens pressed with no centre at all! In fact what the plastic discs are actually called is a matter of debate amongst the reggae crowd..

I also have a cheap paperback of <em>The Satanic Bible</em> which contains the same Enochian Calls (from John Dee and Edward Kelley) which Crowley reads. I agree someone could make a compilation of music (or recordings) by occultists, I think Sixties "King of the Witches" Alex Sanders also made an album. The trouble is that the music on these things is usually terrible! I think I have a copy of that Satanist album somewhere.

He was the Stockhausen fan and I seem to recall he was also the one who put William Burroughs on the cover. I've only just noticed that the Crowley picture they used is slightly doctored from the original. <a href="http://famouspoetsandpoems.com/pictures/aleister_crowley.jpg" rel="nofollow">Peter Blake removed his bow tie</a>.

I read the Tarot, and the Thot deck, his and Frieda Harris, is my choice. I think Crowley should be envisaged in a much more serious way than most would-be magicians do nowadays. I also share his passion for women, and I do lack a princess to practice some of the magicks with me. Well, we'll see about that... The Beatles were always a synonim of John Lennon to me, and I do believe his was the choice, as both George and Paul wouldn't have liked Crowley that much. Well, there's always Ringo, but I don't think so. I take Crowley very seriously. I read the Tarot, and the Thot deck, his and Frieda Harris, is my choice.
