Reissue of psychfolk, ..
Dr.Strangely Strange

rec.'69-'70->CD ('07)








Hux Rec./Belle Antique Dr.Strangely Strange : Halcyon Days (UK,1969-1970,re.2007)**°°

I also would like to mention this reissue. The booklet alone is worth check out. It tells the story of Dr.Strangely Strange, a group who was heavily influenced by The Incredible String Band. I found it sad that their first album was only once reissued properly on LP. The CD reissue had some flaws and changed the cover a little. This first album was pretty close to ISB. The second album was equally interesting, had more church-like organ, and had something of a religious feeling, just for fun I guess. If I remember well, the third, unreleased album reissued later was much more simple music. But this album with rare well recorded studio tracks contains many tracks that still date from their "magic" period. 2 new but fitting tracks are also added looking back to those days. The singers voices just sound a bit older now.
