Door de Brexit komen titels die uit de UK afkomstig zijn nog altijd
met vertraging binnen. Soms valt het mee en duurt het slechts 2-3
weken, maar het komt helaas ook voor dat we 4 weken of meer moeten
wachten. We doen ons best om alles zo goed en snel mogelijk te
regelen, maar het blijft lastig...

Omschrijving | Esoteric Recordings is release of a new re-mastered
and expanded 2 CD set of all the recordings by
British Progressive / West Coast influenced rock
band Gypsy released by United Artists Records
between 1971 and 1972. The band evolved from the
Leicester based band Legay who released a single on
the Fontana label before morphing in to Gypsy in
1969. The band featured featured Robin Pizer
(vocals, guitar), John Knapp (guitar, keyboards),
Rod Read (guitar), David McCarthy (bass / vocals)
and David ‘Moth’ Smith (drums).
The band was influenced by US West Coast bands such
as Buffalo Springfield, Moby Grape and HP Lovecraft
and forged their own unique musical style. The band
paid their dues on the UK live music circuit,
supporting such acts as The Who and Led Zeppelin
and earned themselves a spot on the 1969 Isle of
Wight Festival, performing on two consecutive
nights.
In 1970 the band signed to the UK office of United
Artists Records, a label swiftly gaining a
reputation as a home to emerging “underground”
acts. The band’s debut album, ‘Gypsy’, was issued
in early 1971 and was a fine record which clearly
showed the band’s influences, but it also had
originality.
Gypsy worked hard on the road throughout Europe and
gained a cult following and the continued support
from their record label. The non-album single;
‘Changes Coming’ b/w ‘Don’t Cry On Me’ gained
airplay on rock radio in Europe and saw the band
appear on the UK TV show Top of the Pops. In 1972
Gypsy released the album ‘Brenda And The
Rattlesnake’ which was produced by John Anthony
(who had produced albums by artists such as
Lindisfarne, Van der Graaf Generator, Genesis and
Rare Bird).
This album saw highly rated Ray Martinez replace
Rod Read and was a more polished affair than the
band’s debut and contained much fine material.
Despite gaining good reviews and being hailed as a
potential breakthrough act, Gypsy failed to make
commercial headway and were eventually dropped by
United Artists in 1973.
This release has been remastered from the original
master tapes and gathers together all the Gypsy
recordings issued by UA in 1971 and 1972. It also
features a booklet with an essay and a new
interview with John Knapp.
