GANDALF Gandalf (Monster rare 1969 US 10-track stereo vinyl LP with rainbow rimmed Capitol label design, pasted picture sleeve. A psychedelic holy grail from this super obscure New York band who released just one longplayer which, due to an indifferent label and poor distribution [many copies were sent out with the wrong record inside the sleeve!], sank without trace. Unlike many 'lost classics' this one doesn't disappoint; although consisting mainly of covers [three by Tim Hardin and several by the Turtles songwriting team Alan Gordon & Garry Bonner], it has a distinct musical identity not unlike Odyssey & Oracle era Zombies - yes, that good.
