SHIVER-Walpurgis-'69 SWISS PROG-NEW CD
THE SHIVER
Walpurgis
NEW CD IN JEWELCASE
SHIVER - Walpurgis Swiss Prog
Swiss band with it's only effort.
Good H.R. Giger cover and musically a mix of depressing psychedelic blues and early progressive music. early 70's sounding.
The Shiver are for sure the most renowned psychedelic band of Switzerland.
Their one and only LP "Walpurgis" is legendary and hardly affordable. So, evidently, a lot of bootleg versions appeared on the market over the years, but all of them very poorly done.
The LP on Garden of Delights is produced, as usual, with a four-page insert in LP size. It includes a detailed band history, a lot of illustrations, and a detailed discography inclusive label and cover repros.
The LP has three bonus tracks. Two of those are taken from the very rare compilation "1. Schweizer Rhythm and Blues Festival". The early version of "Repent Walpurgis" comes from a so-called split single from 1968, where you can find The Etc on its flip side. Thus, the complete released works of The Shiver can be found on this LP.
The gatefold cover artwork designed by H.R. Giger was taken over unchanged.
