GUERSSEN

Cat Nº: GUESS241

Psychedelic, progressive folk-rock masterpiece from 1971, recorded in London by John St. Field aka JACKIE LEVEN (of Doll by Doll fame) but only released in Spain back at the time.

Before becoming a cult singer/songwriter in the 90s, Scottish musician Jackie Leven debuted in the early 70s with “Control”, issued under the John St. Field pseudonym due to “problems with the forces of law and order”.

Recorded in London and helped by musicians from MAN and other friends (Phil Ryan, Juliet Lawson, Jesse Ballard, Joe Kucera…), the album featured a collection of wonderful songs written by Jackie after his experiences wandering away and taking copious amounts of LSD.

Unlike previous reissues, this one features the complete tracklist in original running order and also a new insert with previously unseen photos / memorabilia and recollections from some of the musicians involved.

*Remastered sound
*Original artwork in gatefold sleeve
*Insert with liner notes and rare photos / memorabilia
