The fabulous singer-songwriter / popsike masterpiece by Nick Garrie-Hamilton is reissued in vinyl format for the first time ever since its very rare France-only release in 1969. A perfect chance to get your hands on a high quality vinyl pressing without having to pay the incredibly big amounts of money an original copy changes hands for nowadays.

A musical delicatessen by this great Russian/Scotish, French raised singer songwriter. This LP first came out in France in 1969, under the production of Eddie Vartan, who managed to embody Nick's perfect songs into an orchestration with several common points to that in other great albums from the era coming from the UK (think of Billy Nichols, Duncan Browne, Bill Fay...). Soon after the record came out, the AZ's label owner commited suicide, the label resting orphan and thus the release being unpromoted & undistributed sank in the dust of time. One of its songs, "Wheel Of Fortune", was rescued back in the Strange Things Are Happening days for its inclusion on a volume of the legendary "Circus Days" compilations. Nick kept on releasing albums, The "Suitcase Man" LP came in Spain in the eighties, and two more records have been issued since then, "The Playing Fields" and "Twelve Old Songs", but interest for his debut LP has grown in recent years among collectors over the globe, an original copy fetching amounts moving between 600 and 1000 euros. We do believe this album is so good that it shouldn't be reserved only to the few who can afford those numbers, so here is a perfect vinyl reissue for the mere mortals like you and me!

The Wah Wah edition, issued under license from Nick Garrie himself, comes with two bonus tracks taken from Nick's rare pre-LP 45, issued in France in 1968. It has been master cut by Yann Dub @ DK Mastering for a high quality sound pressing that will satisfy the most exquisite audiophile, respects the original artwork and comes with a small insert with annotations by Mr. Jon "Mojo" Mills, editor of the famed Shindig! Magazine. It is strictly limited to 1000 numbered copies that we are sure will sell like hot bread. Get yours before it's too late!""
