ORIGINAL 1971 BRITISH ELECTRIFIED FOLK-PSYCH GEM
STILL FACTORY SEALED
DANDO SHAFT
\ USA - RCA / NEON - NE 5
RARE...STILL FACTORY SEALED ...never opened in over 40 years ... almost never seen in this pristine condition!
Original 1971 first pressing vinyl in THICK gatefold cover ... a legendary UK electrified folk-psych collectible by magical hippie crew who made at least two highly sought/collectible albums...
Named after a fictional character in a novel Dando Shaft were formed in Coventry in the english east midlands in 1968. Originally a 5 piece, the wonderful fem singer Polly Bolton joined them for this, their second album.
Following in the footsteps of Trees meets Fairport Convention, Dando Shaft mixed folk with a touch of rock albeit without drums. They developed a style of complex textures and intricate patterns with musical dexterity and good compositional ability. This brew gathered great acclaim from the media but they didn`t manage to break into the big time. An Evening With Dando Shaft was an impressive debut and was succesful enough for their record company, Neon, to let them record a second.
Polly Bolton joined the band for the recording of Dando Shaft. The band had always wanted to have a female singer and Bolton`s distinctive voice brought another dimension to their sound. Unfortunately Neon Records folded not long after the albums release and the band signed a one album deal with RCA. After their demise Martin Jenkins formed Hedgehog Pie before working with Bert Jansch and then forming Whippersnapper.
Forsaking electric instruments, Dando Shaft nevertheless radiated the same level of energy as electric British folk bands like Pentangle and Trees. Driven by hand percussion and standup bass, the Coventry-based group created a sound marked by intricate patterns and complex textures. Reminding of early Pentangle in their jazzy double bass fuelled grooves, John Martyn when leaning on more bluesy bend string licks while on more dreamy gentle pastures -- Dando Shaft has much of its own and thus a very original and rich sound, build on top of the duo of guitars intertwined patterns, supported by a discreet but effective low end and subtle percussions, tastefully enriched by Jenkins mandolin,or flute mixed fiery playing -- the blend of male and female vocals is great, and a bit different than usual. Perhaps that's just the true uniqueness of the female vocalist at play. Her name is Polly Bolton. She has her own sound.
Besides the melancholic and beautiful Polly sung ”River Boat” and the short closing solo piece by Dave Cooper “Prayer” this is a mostly uplifting, lively album.
