Ghost
A Spectral Celebration on Vinyl
Ghost, the Grammy Award-winning Swedish rock phenomenon, has long been celebrated for their genre-defying music and theatrical flair. Known for blending hard rock, heavy metal, and psychedelic elements, the band has crafted a legacy of unforgettable performances and chart-topping albums. Among their many acclaimed works, Seven Inches of Satanic Panic stands out as a playful yet powerful homage to the 1960s rock aesthetic—an EP that captured the essence of Ghost’s creativity and became an instant collector’s item. At Classic City Vinyl Works, we had the honor of collaborating with Ghost to press this iconic EP onto a limited-edition 7-inch purple vinyl.
Bringing Seven Inches of Satanic Panic to Life
Featuring the infectious tracks "Kiss the Go-Goat" and "Mary on a Cross", the EP marries a retro sound with Ghost’s signature occult charm. The result is a release that not only resonates musically but also visually, with the vibrant purple vinyl adding a striking, tactile layer to the listening experience.

A Band That Defies Boundaries
Ghost’s reputation as innovators in rock is well earned. From their Grammy-winning track "Cirice" to their chart-topping album Impera, which earned the 2022 American Music Award for Favorite Rock Album, the band continues to push boundaries. With Seven Inches of Satanic Panic, they delve into a fictional 1969 backstory, presenting the EP as a “rediscovered” gem from the era of psychedelic rock. This creative narrative adds depth to their music and lore, making every release a story as much as a sound.
"Mary on a Cross", one of the EP’s standout tracks, has gained a life of its own, surging in popularity thanks to its viral success on platforms like TikTok. Paired with the groovy, occult-themed "Kiss the Go-Goat", the EP showcases Ghost’s ability to blend dark humor, catchy melodies, and conceptual storytelling into a package that’s as thrilling as it is enigmatic.
