Hailing from Uppsala, cultural powerhouse and home to some of the finest prog/psych outfits, such as San Michael’s, Kaipa, Algarnas Tradgard, Trad, Gras och Stenar, Gandalf’s sole album, and Pokora 4-star rated, ranks among the rarest and incredibly hard to find Swedish psych/prog gems.

You’re in for a resourceful blend of acid-drenched psychedelia, alternating with prog movements that bear the mark of emergent and sedimented styles of its era. This is no ordinary Gandalf, but a booze-suffused hippie version on the lookout for the next witches’ party out in the woods. And since what happens in Uppsala becomes part of global cultural heritage, we bring you the first official reissue in exactly the same pressing as the original 1977 one, that is, 300 copies, in 3 editions of 100 numbered copies, in black, marble and splatter vinyl. The album, fully remastered for your maximum audio pleasure, is couched in the original covers and labels, and includes a 12-page booklet with the original lyrics sheet, plus the band’s official bio and previously unreleased photographic material
