Monster Magnet's early psych epic "Tab" resurfaces via God Unknown Records

The original Monster Magnet line-up of Dave Wyndorf, John McBain & Tim Cronin cut Tab in 1988. Now you can get it on vinyl.


Here's the scoop...

The track Tab was originally released by Monster Magnet back in 1988 on the demo 'Forget About Life, I’m High On Dope'. This is a 2021 mix of the original demo. with both tracks being over 24 minutes each. It's viewed as an influential track with psychedelic / heavy psych / space rock and stoner rock fans and will sit nicely alongside Sleep's 'Dopesmoker'. 

Julian Cope described the original release as distilling Hawkwind, Sabbath and The Stooges into a lysergic soup of brown acid and bathtub meth, and ultimately cultivating a “Altamont vibe”; that is, the negative end of the psychedelic spectrum.
