GIGYMEN – Gigymen

Description

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.
