A recording made at the Black House, the Church of Satan's San Francisco headquarters, on 13 September 1968, presented by the Church's own website as the first released recording of an authentic Satanic ritual. Side one preserves an audio recording of the baptism ceremony of Zeena LaVey, daughter of founder Anton Szandor LaVey. Side two presents LaVey, High Priest of the Church of Satan, reciting excerpts from The Satanic Bible over classical compositions. It was released the same year as a vinyl LP on LaVey's own label Murgenstrumm, reissued on compact disc by Amarillo Records in 1995 with an added bonus track, and later reissued again through Adversary Recordings.
