GROUP 1850 "Paradise Now" (Pseudonym VP99.044)
Brand new limited edition LP pressed on 180gram Direct Metal Mastered YELLOW vinyl.
Recorded, edited and mixed over one long Red Leb hash-fueled weekend in October 1969, Group 1850's second album, 'Paradise Now', remains one of the high-water marks of European psychedelia. A wide-eyed, wide-open, synapse-electrifying set of songs, it sounds like the transmissions of a burnt-out satellite spinning through the galaxies of inner space. Group 1850 leader Peter Sjardin skillfully edited the group's free-flowing improvisations into eight cohesive, yet distinctly different tracks, part 'Saucerful Of Secrets', part 'Electric Ladyland', part Guru Guru, part Can circa 'Monster Movie'-era.
The album was originally released on Discofoon, the label owned by the Dutch department store chain V&D, carried exclusively in their shops nationwide. It has since become a highly sought-after collectors item. Finally this album sees its first official reissue on 180-gram audiophile vinyl, dynamically remastered from the original master tapes. The LP is packaged in a lavish gatefold sleeve with the original cover artwork supplemented by rare photos and liner notes by Mike Stax of Ugly Things magazine.
