Sonet rec.1967 GP-9923 Stereo! Sweden press. M/M! Top quality of this very rare "Sweden only" record! This is the original 1st.press from 1967 and is only printed in Sweden with this sleeve...Never played! EXTREMELY RARE!
Belfast Gypsies was issued in Scandinavia in August, 1967. It's a good album, interesting both musically and in its part in one of the Beat Boom's most complex stories. It's only a
shame that the group split up soon after the recordings were over. The Belfast Gypsies were a Them spin off band and Van Morrison's influence is very prominent throughout this enjoyable album. It's a pretty even album when speaking in terms of quality. Midnight Train and Secret Police are two excellent songs that have a crunchy garage punk blast. It's All Over Now Baby
Blue is consider one of the great lost Bob Dylan covers from the 1960's by many rock critics. The band even shows its soul roots on solid compositions like Portland Town and The Last Will And Testament. This album is recommended to anyone into the cool garage sounds of the 1960's.
Them Belfast Gypsies has indeed become known as a garage rock classic, inspiring everyone from The Modern Lovers to Iggy Pop (who claimed the Belfast Gypsies' Secret Police was
one of his favorite garage rock singles).
The tracks are: Gloria's Dream, The Crazy World Inside Me, Midnight Train, Aria of the Fallen Angels, Its All Over Now Baby Blue, People Let's Freak Out, Boom Boom, The Last Will and Testament, Portland Town, Hey Gyp (Dig the Slowness) Suicide Song, Secret Police
