RESTRICTIONS
 
 
Restrictions  is the third album by American hard rock band Cactus, released in 1971 on the Atco label.  The album tracks “Token Chokin’”, “Evil”,“Alaska” and “Sweet 16” were all released as singles.  The album features heavy blues-rock originals, with a cover of the Howlin’ Wolf blues standard “That’s Evil”.  Stoner rock band Monster Magnet used Cactus’ arrangement of the song for their own cover, which appeared on their 1993 album Superjudge.

Cactus albums were never big sellers, but they worked fast, recording two more albums in 1971, Restrictions and One Way . . . or Another plus ’Ot ’n’ Sweaty the following year in a revamped line-up after Jim McCarty left.
