Lucifer's Friend hailed from Hamburg Germany (although singer John Lawton was an Englishman). They released their debut single, Ride In The Sky, in 1970 on Vertigo Records. It was released in America in 1973 and that is often wrongly credited as the year of its release. It is also frequently cited as one of the very first Heavy Metal records. Ride In The Sky was written by the guitarist Peter Hesslein and Lawton. The B-Side is an instrumental written by all of the band, bar Lawton. The rest of the band also recorded under the name Pink Mice as a side project.
