Guerssen Records Guess-045

LP
£19.99


First time vinyl reissue of this legendary real-people/outside psych-folk side, originally released in 1979. Johan Wellens of Tiliqua (who issued the CD version) described it as being in the lineage of "Dino Valente, Erica Pomerance, Didi Favreau, Virgin Insanity, Gary Higgins, Kenneth Higney and Roger Rodier" but you might wanna throw in a touch of Roky's acoustic demos, a more lugubriously-stoned Tim Hardin, some pastoral modal guitar/hand-percussion jams that could almost be Six Organs Of Admittance, Roy Harper's classic Harvest recordings, psychedelic Donovan and even a hint of Help Yourself. Very beautiful/intimate atmosphere and possessed of *that* necessary star-crossed/lost in time element that gets record collectors hot under their three chins.
