The Original Crystal Haze Band

Ledendary 70s Rock Group "Crystal Haze Band"

DISCLAIMER for Legal reasons: Let it be noted to all that we are not in any way affiliated with the newer group using the recently trademarked name "Crystal Haze" owned by a Sean Miller of Mesa AZ.  We are The Original  "Crystal Haze Band" formed in 1975, in Decatur Illinois USA. We recorded and put out : "The Crystal Haze Album" in 1977, which has become a benchmark in the Indie Music Scene as one of the most hard to find LPs of all time, and one of the most sought after by record collectors, audiophiles, and afficiendos of Proto-Heavy Metal and Hard Rock of the 1970s.
 
THE CRYSTAL HAZE BAND AND ALBUM
 
This album has a life of it's own. "The Crystal Haze Album" by "Crystal Haze Band" has been repeatedly bootlegged in England and Eurpoe (albeit illegally) continuously since its inception. The Original Legal copies are the plain all-white cover with shrink wrap and Credits sticker.
 
"The Crystal Haze Album" industry has never ceased  and has never been legally ABANDONED, to utilize the actual legal term. Like many past groups, from the Beatles on down, "Crystal Haze Band"" as a Company and purveyor of music, music products, licensed products, literature, and musical licensed performances, has continued unabated ever since the 1977 Legendary album.
