Gandalf The Grey - The Grey Wizard Am I
ORIGINAL 1972
GWR-007
folk psych loner private press masterpiece

Great original pressing of this mega-rare private folk LP with full band backing, considered a masterpiece by some old-school collectors. The cover pics are fabulous, they're totally engrossing and awkwardly personal. The songs are inspired, having a particularly joyous, yearning feel with lovely melodies and the Wizard's sympathetic voice. Its childlike happiness also makes it very acidy somehow, even chillingly so. 11 songs of acid tinged folk/psych tracks with some obvious Tolkien influenced lyrical flourishes enriched by what the rear jacket notes refer to simply as "elven music" There's a freak aspect to this private LP that would have been buried had it been produced by a major label, and that's what makes it special. This is one of the oldest "blue chip" collector LPs in this genre so copies aren't circulating much anymore, they're in heavy collections.

COVER - VERY GOOD (still has most of the original shrink but a little damage to top seam, see photo)
DISC - NEAR MINT

ALL RECORDS SEPARATED FROM THEIR PICTURE SLEEVES AND MAILED IN A STURDY CARDBOARD MAILER
