A true lost gem of the '60s, 'The Seven Deadly Sins' could be regarded as a simple cash-in on the success of 'Jesus Christ Superstar', but this LP is deeper and rocks way harder. With wild fuzz guitar, string interludes, an entire choir, piano, organ, and a song cycle structured like a Catholic mass, the group Plus recorded this overlooked classic (with the assistance of ex-Yardbirds bassist/producer Simon Napier-Bell) and then disappeared into the night. Essential for any fan of '60s psych/prog and concept albums in general.
