PAN - Pan +3 - SWE Flawed Gems Expanded Edition - LISTEN - VERY RARE

How good it is that there is such a label as Flawed Gems - releasing forgotten, but excellent titles and combining tasteful artwork with excellent, juicy and almost analogue sound. Professionally remastered, released in the original cover and without a doubt the best-sounding (e.g. compared with the dull CD from the dreadful Danish label Karma...) edition of the only, but superb, album by a Danish progressive formation. Released in May 1970 and excellently produced, the LP contained a mixture of heavy rock, folk, jazz and classical music, that is, it was an utterly progressive album. This album, full of changing moods, was characterised by the spacious interplay of Hammond organ, intense electric guitar parts and nice vocals (with two tracks in French). In addition, 2 tracks from a single and an alternative version are included. Compared with the earlier Karma version, however, there are (fortunately) none of the four poor, country-style live tracks, already recorded with a changed line-up. A top-drawer progressive classic! A MUST! (JL)
