Pre-order for “Causing Havoc 1972-1977” by Witch

Causing Havoc is a killer selection of songs from Zambia’s legendary garage, psych, prog, funk & Afro-rock ensemble, from 1972-1977.

WITCH was a Zambian music rock (Zamrock) band formed in the 1970s. Widely seen as the most popular Zambian band of the 1970s, WITCH (an acronym for 'We Intend to Cause Havoc') were formed during Zambia's golden post-independence days, and were headed by Emanuel "Jagari" Chanda. Their unique blend of American and UK hard rock and psychedelia and native Zambian folk rhythms and melodies shines through in this compilation.

In 1972, the band traveled to Kenya to record and press their debut LP, “Introduction,” and carried the initial run of a few hundred vinyl copies back to Zambia in their suitcases. Released as the first commercially produced rock album in the country, it marked the start of the Zamrock movement.

EXPECTED RELEASE DATE: 12/18/26.

PRE-ORDER DISCLAIMER: Release dates are tentative and often get pushed back or cancelled by the labels. We try 100% to get you what you order, but there are times when we aren’t allotted enough of the item to fill all of the orders (and usually we won’t know this until the week of the release). In this case we will contact you as soon as we are aware that the order can’t be fulfilled. Special limited/indie exclusive releases can be ordered in multiples, but we can’t guarantee that we will be able to fill more than one copy of each said release.

Pre-orders are essentially “special orders”. This means if you place a pre-order, we are ordering it specially for you (many items we have up for pre-order are not items we carry in our store, and those that we do, we are ordering EXTRA copies to fill your pre-orders). Because of this, we cannot do cancellations or refunds after the pre-ordering time period has ended.
