ON AUCTION :
Hurdy Gurdy "Hurdy Gurdy" LP
Label : Original 1971 WHITE LABEL TEST PRESS !!!! S64781
matrix/runout : (stamped matrix) : S 64781 A1 / S 64781 B1
ORIGINAL PRESSING FROM 1970/71 !!!!
HURDY GURDY INITIALLY CONSISTED OF CLAUS BØHLING (GUITAR) , JENS OTZEN (DRUMS) AND BRITISH BASSIST/VOCALIST MAC MACLEOD.
IN 1967 MAC MACLEOD WROTE TO DONOVAN´S MANAGER ASHLEY KOZAK IF HE COULD HELP THE BAND ON ITS WAY.
DONOVAN ACTUALLY WROTE "THE HURDY GURDY MAN" FOR THE BAND!!! AND THEY WENT OVER THERE TO START RECORDING SESSIONS. BUT DISAGREEMENT ON HOW IT SHOULD BE PRODUCED LED TO DONOVAN MADE THE RECORDING HIMSELF AND SCORED A MAJOR HIT WITH IT.
HURDY GURDY RECRUITED A NEW BASSIST, TORBEN FORNE TO REPLACE MACLEOD AND THEY RELEASED THIS ALBUM IN EARLY 1971.
THIS TEST PRESSING IS THEREFORE EITHER FROM 70 OR 71.
I BOUGHT IT FROM A WORKER ON THE CBS COMPANY WHO WORKED THERE IN THE 60s AND 70s.
MATRIX ARE THE SAME AS ON THE OFFICIAL ALBUM WHICH WAS LATER RELEASED.
THIS IS AS ORIGINAL AS IT GETS - SINCE THIS WAS IN FACT ONE OF THE TEST-PRESS THAT I ASSUME STUDIO-CREW/RECORD COMPANY EXECUTIVES LISTENED TO BEFORE THEY DECIDED TO RELEASE IT!!!
EXCELLENT PROG/PSYCH ALBUM WITH FUZZ/SITAR TRIPPED OUT TUNES!!!!
RECORD COMES IN A PLAIN WHITE COVER WITH A STAMPED MATRIX NO. AT TOP RIGHT CORNER.
LISTEN TO FULL ALBUM AND CHECK QUALITY AT LINK BELOW : (taken from actual record for sale) (RECORDED USING A TECHNICS 1210 WITH A CONCORDE PICK-UP AND AN ORTOFON NEEDLE)
