Handgjort
(trans. "Handmade") recorded a legendary album in 1970 released by
Silence Records. All covers were hand-painted by the band members. The
music is moody underground folk with Eastern influences. The album sold
very poorly and is a serious collectors item today. The original band
members were: Marcus Brandelius aka Greg Fitzpatrick (esraj and vocals),
Guy Öhrström (acoustic guitar), Stig Arne Karlsson (sitar), and Theo
Greyerz (tablas). After over three years of preparation, Handgjort is
reissued, released as a coproduction from Silence and Psykofon records.
This is an exclusive replica, with hand-painted covers by the band
members once again! The original album was remastered from the master
tapes without digitalization. The previously-unreleased bonus tracks
were all recorded live at the festivals at Gärdet in 1970 and 1971.
Strictly limited edition of 600 copies done with the full cooperation of
the band. CD includes a 32-page booklet telling the complete,
uncensored story of Handgjort, featuring unique photos and lots of
reproductions of original Handgjort hand-painted covers. The CD also
includes one exclusive bonus track, "Gregs Recitation," not featured on
the LP version. Line-up / Musicians Marcus Brandelius/ezra,sarod Guy Ohrstrom/guitar Stig Arne Karlsson/sitar Theo Greyerz/tablas Bjorn Joson Lindh/flute Brulet Green/oboe Dallas Smith/clarinet Kenneth Arnstrom/saxophone Jan Bandel/gong Discography Handgjort 1971
