RELEASE DATE

Reissue, originally released in 1972. Once there was
Black Merda
, such a funny a name if you happen to have any Italian heritage. To be true, that was meant as "Black Murder", but something went wrong along the way. For their second album the proto black rock band changed their name, turning simply into
Mer-da
.
Long Burn The Fire
was their last effort ever, soon came darkness and all of a sudden the group disbanded, before being praised in the early 2000s as forerunner of a young black generation. Officially a funk combo the band shared more than a moment with
The Jimi Hendrix Experience
and
George Clinton/Funkadelic
. Their acid-fuzz numbers brought similarities with early '70s psychedelic nomads, while some vocal harmonies had a more contemporary late-60s soul vibe. Coming from Detroit rock city, they became sort of a local legend.
