Thanks for visiting and feel free to contact me. Feedback is important with on-line transactions, so feel free to check my feedback plus see my other items for more great recordings.

Item: Gandalf - Gandalf - Capitol (Stereo) ST-121

Condition*: VG++ (sleeve has some surface wear/fading, vinyl is close to EX with some light marks)

Track Info: Similar to Left Banke, Gandalf's self-titled album has some attractive baroque-psychedelia with a spacey air, though its quality depends very much on the standard of the material. Generally they're better the more they rely on the slightly weird and spacey production, as on "Scarlet Ribbons" and their cover of Tim Hardin's "Hang on to a Dream." On tracks like "You Upset the Grace of Living" there's a nice balance of melody and quasi-classical keyboards on the cusp between pop, progressive rock and psychedelia. "Can You Travel in the Dark Alone," one of the few originals (by Peter Sando), is nice, harmonic sunshine pop with a slightly experimental feel, along the lines of some of the better things being done by Californian cult figures like Gary Usher and Curt Boettcher at the time.
