We are very proud to present the first ever reissue of this lost treasure, originally an obscure private pressing of just 100 copies. Gigymen were a college circuit band from Cambridge who in 1974 recorded their only album at Spaceward Studios. Stunning folk-rock / folk-pop with pro-recorded sound, superb musicianship and strong songwriting. With influences ranging from Fairport Convention to The Beatles, here you\’ll find some superb folk-rock adaptations of traditional songs such like \”As I roved out\”, \”Gypsy Laddie\” and \”Rocky Road to Dublin\” along with fab folk-pop with Beatlesque vocals on tracks like \”Plain Jane\” or \”Gone are the days\”. The album was originally released with only a blank paper sheet with the credits on the cover so we\’ve designed a new front sleeve for our reissue. Insert with rare pictures and detailed liner notes is also included. Remastered in 24-bit domain from the original master tapes, 180gm vinyl.
