Working with producer Brooks Arthur at Century Sound in Manhattan, the band built much of the record in the studio, shaping an unusually fluid sound that sits somewhere between late-Sixties sunshine pop, chamber pop and psychedelia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes the album memorable is how specific its palette is: haunting vocals, B3 organ, harpsichord, vibes, sitar and drifting bass lines, all used to create a dreamy, slightly uncanny mood. Peter Sando's writing gives the record its own identity, while the covers help place it in a wider pop tradition, from Tim Hardin's \"Hang On To A Dream\" to Eden Ahbez's \"Nature Boy.\" If you like the ornate edge of The Left Banke or the more spectral side of The Zombies, this is an easy one to understand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition also matters because it marks the first official vinyl pressing since the original era release. Jackpot worked from the original analog master tape with lacquers cut AAA by Kevin Gray, and the package adds liner notes and photos by Peter Sando, giving a little more context to an album that was overlooked for far too long and now sounds like a fascinating late-Sixties one-off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear Vinyl, Limited Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLacquers cut AAA from the original analog master tape by Kevin Gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes liner notes and photos by Peter Sando\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst official vinyl pressing since 1969\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cq\u003esome attractive baroque-psychedelia with a spacey air\u003c\/q\u003e - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/gandalf-mw0000665362\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eAllMusic.com\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e Gandalf\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e Jackpot Records\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_us\"\u003eUS\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pop-rock-vinyl-records\"\u003ePop \u0026amp; Rock\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/psychedelic-rock\"\u003ePsychedelic Rock\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Gandalf+Golden+Earrings\"\u003eGolden Earrings\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Gandalf+Hang+On+To+A+Dream\"\u003eHang On To A Dream\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Gandalf+Never+Too+Far\"\u003eNever Too Far\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Gandalf+Scarlet+Ribbons\"\u003eScarlet Ribbons\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA5 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Gandalf+You+Upset+The+Grace+Of+Living\"\u003eYou Upset The Grace Of Living\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Gandalf+Can+You+Travel+In+The+Dark+Alone\"\u003eCan You Travel In The Dark Alone\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Gandalf+Nature+Boy\"\u003eNature Boy\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Gandalf+Tiffany+Rings\"\u003eTiffany Rings\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Gandalf+Me+About+You\"\u003eMe About You\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB5 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Gandalf+I+Watch+The+Moon\"\u003eI Watch The Moon\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Jackpot Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44564789493825,"sku":"3421241","price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/AJKP_109__189158__07022024012159-925.jpg?v=1789130110","url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/products\/gandalf-gandalf-384023","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
