Friendship (LP)

Format: LP

Genre: Psych

In process of stocking

*100 copies ultra limited edition!* Junipher Greene  was a Norwegian progressive rock band, who were formed in Oslo in 1967.  When they released their historic debut album Friendship (called a "milestone" in European progressive rock") in 1971 they became the first Norwegian band ever to release a double LP. These 18 tracks, characterized by their incisive guitar solos, prominent flute and excellent songwriting, are progressive rock at its very best. One of the Genre's true masterworks. It stands as one of Norway's earliest progressive albums

Stylistically it is heavy progressive rock, blending the tension of King Crimson, the organ and guitar sounds of Deep Purple and Uriah Heep, and the dynamics of early Jethro Tull. The dark, memorable and usually very intensive music was superbly played and driven by a flute, mellotron and Hammond organ passages, some heavy guitars, complex drumming and fine vocals.

Nowadays the original Sonet vinyl is a world-class rarity and in (rarely seen) top condition is worth about 1000 euro. It should be noted that the record cover was painted by the (now) very famous Odd Nerdrum.
 
Comes in a deluxe thick paste on cover.
