THEM - Belfast Gypsies +9 - UK Grapefruit Remastered Expanded Digipack Edition - LISTEN

An excellent album - recorded already without Van Morrison, produced by Kim Fowley and released under the so misleading title... "Them" - but under the name Belfast Gypsies. Very dynamic rhythm'n'blues/freakbeat with a touch of early psychedelia. An edition in a digipak, from 2020, remastered from recently found tapes recorded in London (7 of the 12 tracks). Nine bonus tracks, including the demo "I Want You" from February 1966, an early version of "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue", as well as an alternative mix of "People! Let’s Freak Out ", which was released (without the band's knowledge) by Island under the name Freaks Of Nature. A revelation! (JL)
