"If you're as obsessed with unfairly unheralded bands as Jackpot Records are, bringing out a proper, well-deserved official re-release to change that course is always an honor. Case in point, Jackpot announces
Gandalf
's 1969 self-titled release as one of our proudest moments. Working alongside band member
Peter Sando
from the original master tapes, it is time for the rest of the uninitiated to catch up with this beautifully crafted haunting psych-pop record (fans of
The Left Banke
,
Kaleidoscope
,
The Millennium
, and
The Zombies
, take note!). Recorded at Century Sound in Manhattan with Grammy-winning producer
Brooks Arthur
(who engineered
Neil Diamond
's 'Sweet Caroline' and
Van Morrison
's 'Brown Eyed Girl'), the production of the album was created on the spot in the studio with arrangements being thrown about and the incredibly haunted vocals being recorded directly from the band's PA using a Binson Echorec to make this innovative sound (
Pink Floyd
later used the same echo unit to great effect). Add to that sitars, vibes, B3 organs, harpsichord, minor tragic guitar chords, and bass drones aplenty, and you've got the recipe for an album that bears listening to with eyes closed, music cranked, mind open. So get in on the beauty of this record, and as Sando says on the liner notes: 'Put the needle in the groove, sit back, and take the trip with GANDALF.' Enough said."
