Description

EXTREMELY RARE, ORIGINAL UK PSYCH / ACID FOLK LP BY MEIC STEVENS - " OUTLANDER ". THE ALBUM IS ON THE ORANGE WARNER BROS. LABEL WITH THE CODE WS 3005 AND IS DATED 1970. STEREO. A1 / B3 MATRICES. SINGLE, MATT, NON - FLIPBACK COVER PRINTED BY WEST BROTHERS LTD. PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IN EX CONDITION. I WILL PROVIDE A PLASTIC / POLYTHENE PROTECTIVE OUTER SLEEVE.

FIRST AND BEST LP BY THIS GREAT WELSH FOLK SINGER !!!! VERY MUCH A CULT ALBUM FEATURING SOME OF THE BEST ACID FOLK MUSIC TO COME OUT OF THE UK !!!!! 10 OF THE 11 TRACKS ARE SUNG IN ENGLISH !!!! WHICH IS VERY RARE FOR A MEIC STEVENS RECORD !!!! HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE " ROWENA ", " GHOST TOWN " AND " YORRIC " BUT ALL THE TRACKS ARE OF A VERY HIGH STANDARD INDEED !!!!

THIS ALBUM REALLY IS A ONE OFF FOR STEVENS AS IT FEATURES THE CULT BAND " MAGIC CARPET " ( WHO RELEASED THEIR OWN ULTRA RARE ALBUM ON THE MUSHROOM LABEL IN 1972 ) AS BACKING MUSICIANS. 11 MUSICIANS IN TOTAL.

TWO TRACKS ARE ARRANGED BY JOHN MAYER - " THE SAILOR AND MADONNA " & " YORRIC ".

INSTRUMENTS USED ON THE ALBUM INCLUDE : GUITAR, BASS GUITAR, DRUMS, ELECTRIC GUITAR, PIANO, ORGAN, FLUTE, SITAR, TABLA, BANJO, VIOLIN AND WELSH HARP.

THIS REALLY IS A MAGNIFICENT LP AND I CANNOT PRAISE IT ENOUGH !!!!!
