We are very proud to present the first ever reissue of this lost treasure, originally an obscure private pressing of just 100 copies.
Gigymen were a college circuit band from Cambridge who in 1974 recorded their only album at Spaceward Studios.
Stunning folk–rock / folk–pop with pro–recorded sound, superb musicianship and strong songwriting.
With influences ranging from Fairport Convention to The Beatles, here you’ll find some superb folk–rock adaptations of traditional songs such like "As I roved out", "Gypsy Laddie" and "Rocky Road to Dublin" along with fab folk–pop with Beatlesque vocals on tracks like "Plain Jane" or "Gone are the days".
The album was originally released with only a blank paper sheet with the credits on the cover so we’ve designed a new front sleeve for our reissue. Insert with rare pictures and detailed liner notes is also included.
Remastered in 24–bit domain from the original master tapes, 180gr vinyl. CD comes with booklet featuring liner notes and pictures.
