LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

mini LP CD

Formerly of 1960s U.S. psych-folk band Euphoria (MGM/Heritage), not to mention veterans of the late 1960s Greenwich Village coffee-house scene that spawned many a career, Roger & Wendy made this private press album for family and friends in 1971, in an edition of 50 copies. They later renamed themselves Bermuda Triangle; their recently reissued 1977 album under that name has garnered terrific reviews throughout the years. With strong roots in folk music, Roger & Wendy have electric and often unconventional arrangements. The lyrics are complex and symbolic, the instrumentation very unusual.

The "Love Rog & Wem" album is a alluring collection of shimmering psych-folk gems, and is the rarest of the duos records (original fetching $900+). A superb artifact from the early 1970s underground psych folk scene, taken from the original master tapes, and using the original sleeve artwork for this deluxe mini-LP sleeve reissue. Booklet has photos, great stories, and five bonus tracks, too!
