"Demon Fuzz was an afro-rock group of which its members had all immigrated to Britain from Commonwealth countries. Released in 1970 as the band's only album, the extraordinary Afreaka!, demonstrates their excellence in playing psychedelic soul, dub-heavy funk, progressive rock, afro-jazz and black acid rock. Demon Fuzz these days are amongst the most bootlegged and sampled bands from the early '70s British underground. It was a Billboard '4-STAR' selection in June 1971. The band's name means 'devil's children or bad policemen.' They originally played soul, but the music they heard during a trip to Morocco lead to a change in their style to what has been described as a blend of funk, rock, jazz, and African music. Afreaka! is available as a limited edition of 2000 individually numbered copies on translucent purple colored vinyl."

Reissue, originally released in 1970. In a just world, Demon Fuzz would have been very successful. Sadly, however, the only real success they enjoyed is the fact that many club DJs now use their samples frequently. Although the band played most of the British underground festivals in the early seventies, Demon Fuzz were simply too way-out to make a significant impact on the college crowd and as a result they broke up after 18 months on the scene. Released in 1970, the band's only album, the extraordinary Afreaka!, demonstrates their excellence in playing psychedelic soul, dub-heavy funk, progressive rock, Afro-jazz, and Black acid rock. Limited tape version of this all-time classic.

"Originally released in 1970, Afreaka! was the sole album by Demon Fuzz, an Afro rock band who made their mark by signing to Pye Records Progressive imprint Dawn. A melding of rock, jazz and African influences, the album was a funky masterpiece. Recently re-evaluated and sampled by many DJs of a new generation, this Esoteric Recordings reissue has been remastered from the original analogue master tapes and includes all three tracks from their 1970 maxi-single ('I Put A Spell On You', 'Message to Mankind' and 'Fuzz Oriental Blues') as bonus tracks."
