Description
NORTHWIND - No label - USA - 1974 Holy grail item that will appeal to both psych and prog collectors: only 50 copies pressed for demonstration purposes only, the band was found years ago, no copies at the source. A reissue was made a few years ago renaming the lp as "From the Woods of Zandor", before that its mere existance was doubted... this is an ORIGINAL copy in top condition !!! (No connection to the UK band of the same name).
I have put a serious reserve on this item, as it has NEVER been offered on eBay before, or even on a dealers list . Act now before it will again disappear and treasured in a kingpin's collection.
The record is Mint- , playing with NO surface noise whatsoever, spindle hole indicates the record has been played only once or twice... "Side 1" is hand written , plus sticker with band name, (in runout groove: "741 side1" (by hand), Side 2 is hand written. (Runout groove: "741-2")
There is only a plain white thick carboard sleeve (M-) with band name written on the front in black felt pen. Two inserts: one with band picture taped on the inner sleeve, the other with song titles and personnel. Look at the scans for condition.
From the "Lysergia" website: (Check them out for the best descriptions and great taste on the net - a true labour of love !!! Thanks P and R) "... folky progrock with strong British influences, especially from Jethro Tull. If you're still interested I can add that there's lots of "complex" tempo shifts, long moog solos and troubadorish vocals. Melodic and not overly self-indulgent ..." [PL]
"Progressive trio. Long tracks with swirling keys, lengthy choppy guitar solos, and floating harmonies. Good guitar textures throughout with a mix of muscular electric leads and delicate acoustic stretches. [RM]"
Conditions of payment: I strongly prefer Western Union, as it is an expensive item, and payment should be safe and secure for both sides. Winner pays postage form Belgium, ask for details.
