The B-side, meanwhile, is "No Rest For The Dead," a song recorded with legendary producer Jack Endino (NIRVANA, SOUNDGARDEN, HIGH ON FIRE) during the 'Breathing The Fire' sessions (and, coincidentally, also a re-working of a song from "At One With The Shadows"). This version of "No Rest..." was originally used as the iTunes bonus track for "Breathing The Fire" and has never been released in a physical format until now. This is limited to 500 copies and will not be repressed! Order yours now at this location.
SKELETONWITCH is spending the winter writing the follow-up to 2009's "Breathing the Fire", with tentative plans to hit the studio in the spring.

At Sound Garden in Syracuse, CD sales dip slightly, vinyl sales rise
By Mark Bialczak/The Post-Standard
Mirroring the national statistics released Thursday by The Nielsen Company and Billboard, album sales for 2010 were down at Syracuse independent record store Sound Garden.
But while the national total that includes CDs, cassettes, vinyl and digital downloads, dropped 12.7 percent, from 373.9 million in 2009 to 326.2 million last year, Sound Garden manager Eric Brush reported a drop of about 3 percent in CD sales. Brush said Sound Garden sold about 109,000 new CDs. The store also sold about 11,000 vinyl records in 2010.
“Our numbers tend to be different from the big-box stores,” Brush said of the store, in downtown Syracuse’s Armory Square.

Poobah’s Let Me In Tops Rolling Stone Year End List!
So, congratulations go out to Jim Gustafson for creating a piece of music with the vitality and staying power that Let Me In has, as well as a big round of applause to T. Dallas Reed for his countless hours of blowing off the sonic dust from the original 1972 analog tapes, and graphic designer Vic Jong for laboriously toiling over the details of the packaging reproduction in an effort to retain the visual feel of the original LP!
Here are a few more words to carry us into 2011:
“Between Jim Gustafson’s primal vocals to his gut wrenching licks on his Les Paul . . . they should have been huge, Black Sabbath Huge, because they were on par as far as sound and attack but it was not to be." -- Metal Exiles
"One of the highlights of the year! Let Me In is an album deserving of any status this reissue can give it, be it “classic” or otherwise.” – The Obelisk
“On the basis of Let Me In, Poobah is more than just a shaggy curiosity from the Me Decade – it’s a band worth discovering for fans not satisfied with endless Grand Funk retreads on classic rock radio." -- Sleazegrinder
Catch Poobah on the road throughout the winter of 2011!
