Vinilisssimo present a reissue of Pan & Regaliz's self-titled album, originally released in 1971. This is the album any record collector would have at the top of his wants list when visiting Spain. No matter if you are into prog rock, psychedelia, leftfield jazz, kraut or just looking for interesting breaks and beats, this is the record you will need. But let's face it, there are little chances of coming across an original copy of Pan & Regaliz's only album; groundbreaking quality music did not sell well in early '70s Spain. Despite the late release date (1971), the album is often compared with the early Jethro Tull recordings and their distinctive flute work and experimental blues rock sound, but there is much more to it. One of the opening tracks, "Waiting In The Monsters Garden", shows a strong psychedelic edge spiced with Eastern percussions and trippy vocals that anticipate the hazy wandering atmosphere of the entire LP (the superb "I Can Fly" could easily be confused with a West Coast acid jam and would definitely appeal to fans of The Doors). "Today It Is Raining", the longest cut on the record, is one of the most unique passages on the album and features an amazing hypnotic rhythm background that is almost crying for someone to rap on top, no wonder it was sampled by hip hop producer Madlib after hyping it as one of his favorite psych records. Unfortunately the story of Pan & Regaliz did not last long and shortly after the release of their only album on Ekipo/Dimension the band broke up, merely one year after their very first single (signed as Agua de Regaliz) saw the light. Some of the members would join other bands from Barcelona like Evolution or Jarka while the remaining ones would struggle keeping the band active for one more year. Presented in facsimile gatefold sleeve and pressed on 180 gram vinyl.

"Along with Evolution's album, I Can Fly (1971) has been one of the most sought after Spanish albums among the wealthiest collectors in the '90s. Unlike many others, the Barcelona band Pan & Regaliz udoubtedly deserve their legendary reputation! They were first known as Agua De Regaliz and recorded one single in 1970. The A-side "Waiting In The Munsters Of Garden" (their spelling), included on the collection Música Progresiva Española, was a true gem that was later re-recorded (and retitled) for the LP. The album is a psychedelic masterpiece, with a very surreal and ghostly atmosphere, comparable to Group 1850 and Pink Floyd (in their 1968 phase) but it also contains some glimpses of heavily mutilated Spanish folk-rock. "Today It's Raining" featured mouth harp (used in a very unusual manner) and mumbling voices in a long free passage. The slightly more coherent "I Can Fly" was a pinnacle of acid blues, a befitting soundtrack to Salvador Dali's most bizarre paintings. The album ranks among the top five from Spain! I don't know what happened to the group, but their drummer later recorded with Jarka." - Dag Erik Asbjørnsen/Scented Gardens Of The Mind
