The audio for this video is sourced from my own personal vinyl copies of "Crow Music" (1969 US pressing), and "Crow By Crow" (1970 Canadian pressing). The various images used in this video are are also taken from photos and scans of my original vinyl LP's.
The audio transfer was done with an Oracle Delphi MKIII turntable, an SME45 tone arm, and a Vanden Hull MC-10 MC cartridge. Though I suppose after digital transfer to mp3, compression etc...all this is irrelevant.

Crow is a Minneapolis hard rock-based blues-rock band that was active from 1967 to 1972. They are best known for the song "Evil Woman (Don't Play Your Games With Me)" appearing on their debut LP "Crow Music" in 1969. The song was later covered by Black Sabbath in 1970, and appeared on that bands self titled debut LP (UK version).

Crow was formed in 1967 by singer David Wagner, guitarist Dick Wiegand, bassist Larry Wiegand, keyboardist Kink Middlemist, and drummer Harry Nehls under the name South 40, which was used until the group went national. Nehls was replaced by Denny Craswell once the group went national. Columbia Records brought them in to record a demo in 1969; they passed, and Crow was signed to Amaret.
In 1969, Crow's debut album Crow Music was recorded. The single "Evil Woman (Don't Play Your Games With Me)" made the Billboard Hot 100 Top 20 that fall. "Crow by Crow" and "Mosaic" were the follow-up releases in 1970 and 1971 respectively. Singles released off Crow's later albums were not as successful; the band wanted to move to Elektra Records, but Amaret wouldn't let them out of their contract while retaining their name. Wagner left the group in 1971; the band replaced him with Mick Stanhope and attempted to move forward, but collapsed for good in 1972. David Wagner recorded a solo album for Amaret in late 1972 titled: d/b/a Crow.

They disbanded in 1972 but reformed again in 1980. This version of Crow included original lead vocalist David Wagner, John Richardson and Jeff Christensen on lead guitar/vocals, Denny Johnson on bass and Bobby Belleville on drums. From September 1980 to July 1981 they recorded many sessions, which resulted in a new studio album titled Crow on the Run in 1982. This version of Crow disbanded in early 1982. In 1988 Crow reformed and they continue to play concerts all over the United States and have released numerous C.D.'s. All the members have won Minnesota Music Awards for their own individual instruments. In 2005 they were inducted into the Minnesota Rock/Country Hall of Fame and, in 2009, the Iowa Rock & Roll Music Hall of Fame.
