Edwards Hand - Edwards Hand + Bonus (CD)

Original release 1969
Re-issue 2007 Lightning Tree

+ 4 Bonus Tracks

The official CD reissue of this rare debut 1969 album by Edwards Hand, the London Psychedelic Pop band formed by the UK duo of singer/keyboardist Rod Edwards (who was later a key member of Folk Rock trio Jade, and The Piccadilly Line) with Roger Hand(The Piccadilly Line). Produced by George Martin, who also did some stunning string arrangements, during a break from recording The Beatles' White album sessions. A beautiful whimsical record of lush harmony pop rock with progressive/psych tinges. Their music can perhaps be compared to the more orchestrated moments of Kaleidoscope and Fairfield Parlour.
