HURDY GURDY - Hurdy Gurdy +5 - EU Once Again Expanded Limited Edition - LISTEN - VERY RARE

Recorded in 1971, but released at the beginning of 1972 by British CBS, the only album by an excellent band from Denmark playing heavy, progressive rock in the European style. This is an absolute masterpiece of the genre started by Cream and continued by Led Zeppelin, Free, Taste and the Swedish November. The English-sung record was dominated by a somewhat sleepy, psychedelic, yet at the same time heavy and clear sound with plenty of concise improvisations. There is no lack of a good pinch of blues and even sitar psychedelia - simply a very professional, thrilling and almost perfect record! Additionally 3 very good recordings from the recording session for the album are included, as well as 2 tracks from the ultra-rare single on the Spectator label (with the sleeve reproduced in the booklet) from 1970. NOTE! This CD contains the original, correct, vinyl mix from 1972 and not the remixed, partly cut material (additionally supplemented with a distinct reverb) once released by Karma Music. The only fragment from the remix is the final 2 minutes of the 10-minute-long track 'Lost In The Jungle', which are included. A MUST! Condition: New, sealed. (JL)
