midnight: into the night

Midnight is one of those "shoulda/woulda/coulda" bands that might actually have made it had their utter youthfulness not got in the way. Formed in the outskirts of Chicago & raisedon Uriah Heep, James Gang & Sabbath, "Into The Night" was put to tape in 1977, privately released in 1978. The LP certainly covers all the heavy bases with a wickedly raw mix, at times sounding like proto-doomers Pentagram, with the odd, occasional boogie number & power-ballad as well.
