Witches

Planning to visit “Electric Ladyland”? Probably a good
idea, as every visitor will get a super-special promo 7” single
with exclusive tracks by all performing girls… plus
there’s gonna be a brand new super-experimental Chicks on Speed
track, which shows a side of the Chicks you’d never imagined to
hear…

Order you ticket
 and pick up
the free single at the show… or order the single and get a
free ticket in the mail
 (recommended
if you plan not to show up) - either way, this collectors item
won’t be available any other way (and there’ll be only
300 of ‘em…)
