                                 1ST vinyl reissue of GANDALF (Sweden)

 

Cat. no: PQR036

Specs: Vinyl 180 gr., strictly limited pressings of 300 numbered copies, with 12-page booklet,  

100 numbered copies in black, 100 in marble, 100 in splatter vinyl.

File nearby: Anglabarn, Mecki Mark Men, Blueset, Midsommar, Gudibrallan                                                                  

Hailing from Uppsala, cultural powerhouse and home to some of the finest prog/psych outfits, such as San Michael’s, Kaipa, Algarnas Tradgard, Trad, Gras och Stenar, Gandalf’s sole album, and Pokora 4-star rated, ranks among the rarest and incredibly hard to find Swedish psych/prog gems. You’re in for a resourceful blend of acid-drenched psychedelia, alternating with prog movements that bear the mark of emergent and sedimented styles of its era. This is no ordinary Gandalf, but a booze-suffused hippie version on the lookout for the next witches’ party out in the woods. And since what happens in Uppsala becomes part of global cultural heritage, we bring you the first official reissue in exactly the same pressing as the original 1977 one, that is, 300 copies, in 3 editions of 100 numbered copies, in black, marble and splatter vinyl. The album, fully remastered for your maximum audio pleasure, is couched in the original covers and labels, and includes a 12-page booklet with the original lyrics sheet, plus the band’s official bio and previously unreleased photographic material.

RIALZU biography

By
  RIALZU biography by Gilles Renne (Rialzu) and Alain Lebon (Soleil Zeuhl)   It was during the rebirth of the Corsican Independence movement that the only record of RIALZU appeared. RIALZU, a band whose musical adventure plunges me back into the far-away and almost ghostly universe of my youth.   RIALZU was created in the early 1970’s at the peak of an incredible musical effervescence : many bands, soon to become legends, were breaking musical taboos and adventuring onto virgin territories by mixing musical styles with incredible creativity and thus laying the new foundations of music yet to be. It was in this atmosphere that, as a teenager, I began teaching myself to play the guitar by trying to decipher the magical notes of my ‘guitar heroes’ from their albums. I met Christophe Mac Daniel, a young organist from Corsica, at a Jesuit boarding school in Avignon. Together we took our first musical steps by starting up a band (of ever-changing names) with two other...

1st VINYL REISSUE OF MIRTHRANDIR – FOR YOU THE OLD WOMEN

A much sought after artefact among savvy prog collectors, and not at all coincidentally, For You The Old Women sits comfortably among the top 10 most inventive and omni-dexterous US prog...
