Description

MEIC STEVENS  Gwymon UK  LP 1972 (WELSH)
This is a mega rare pysch folk LP, a must for the true folk collector! It is believed that only 50 copies were pressed of this private Wren label. This is the follow up to his famous Outlander album. Truely stunning acid/folk/psych from Meic Stevens.
This LP was recorded late 71/72 and released on the very small "private" Welsh label Wren records. Forget about finding an original copy, they are rare as hen's teeth and will cost you a second mortgage. This is the long gone reissue on sunbeam records from 2008. A rare gem of the Welsh Folk scene. A must have for any serious psych folk collector!

Condition:
The gatefold sleeve is in MINT condition.
The record is in NEAR MINT condition.

 

AllMusic Review by Richie Unterberger:
After the commercial failure of Meic Stevens' early-'70s Warner Bros. LP Outlander, the singer/songwriter -- whose Warners contract did not give the label jurisdiction over his Welsh-language material -- decided to record an album of Welsh songs in 1972, released on the Wren label. Those listeners in the English-speaking world who know of Stevens' work primarily through English-language recordings such as Outlander will naturally find the tracks on Gwymon harder to penetrate. The essence of Stevens' folk-rock style is still evident, however, in his committed vocals and his rather musically basic if stylistically diverse tunes. They were simply recorded, too, with one day given to laying the tracks down, and another to mixing. At times ("Cura Dy Law," "Mynd") he sounds like a more rustic Van Morrison; at others he has the somewhat subdued moodiness common to many folk-rock singer/songwriters of the era from the British Isles; and sometimes a pretty acid-folk bent comes to the fore ("Merch of Ffatri Wlan"). Blues informs a few numbers, like "Gwely Gwag" and "Mae'r Ellifant Yn Cofio Popeth," and on still others ("O Mor Lan yr Oedd y Dwr"), the uplifting, declamatory side of traditional British folk makes itself evident.
