HURDY GURDY 's/t' LP (UK, Lost Century Records, Catalogue #09714) Brand new/unplayed copy of Lost Century Records edition of top-level Danish heavy rock album from by Hurdy Gurdy (originally released in 1971 on CBS.)
'This trio formed in the late sixties in Copenhagen as Boom Boom Brothers, later abbreviated to B.B. Brothers (who made at least one single for Sonet.) The group were based in London for a while around 1968-69, where they took up their new name Hurdy Gurdy. Among the musicians they befriended was Donovan, who wrote the song "Hurdy Gurdy Man" for them. The intention was that the Danish group should record the song, but Donovan turned out to enjoy the song so much that he recorded it himself and refused to let them to use it! Other Hurdy Gurdy recordings from this period are rumoured, but apart from an excellent single on Spectator ("Tick Tock Man"/"Lend Me Your Wings"), none of them has been released. Their eponymous album for CBS was recorded with Freddy Hansson in the Rosenberg studio, a place where several legendary albums were conceived. This one ranks among the top 10 Danish albums and comprised blues and jazz influenced heavy progressive rock with strong melodies and competent vocals. The trio had obviously heard the first albums by Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Jethro Tull, but also added an Eastern track with tablas and sitar.' - Dag Erik Asbjornsen/Scented Gardens Of The Mind
