Timberjack's track is unbridled, ridiculous fun, with great flute and string section production. They evolved from Wellington's Dizzy Limits and were a short-lived band that achieved chart success and infamy with their 1971 cover of Black Widow's 'Come To The Sabbat'. It reached number 7 on the national charts and was a Loxene Golden Disc finalist, which caused outrage from staunch church-goers. With good sales, no doubt spurred-on by the controversy, Timberjack seemed set for a full-scale attack on the country, but "Sabbat" was both highlight and swansong for the group. They split up before the year was out.
