ANACONDA- sympathy for the madman (1969, uk)

Fmt: LP Ltd 500   sclp 003   3267784244526  

Post Arcadium psychedelic folk masterpiece, lost since 1969, just one original acetate LP

exists,valued at £7000+, the lp has an intense pagan mood and deals with themes of alienation,

notably in "Outsider", it sounds very similar to Comus with flutes, violins but replaces the

insanity of Comus with dark folked out melancholia. Short at 24 mins. Quite possibly the

finest prog-folk lp ever made, with songwriting and lead vocal by Miguel Sergides who crafted

the psych lp masterpiece by Arcadium. Accomplished and meticulous prog folk genius

Owns permanent rights in many LPs so repertoire will stay in print indefinitely at lower price brackets.

Many releases have never been properly issued before so although vintage archival recordings are not technically reissues.

Sleeve notes are usually written by original band members.

Mastering is done from the best available sources given the archival nature of the recordings, Engineering and Audio Restoration is by an industry genius in Essex, using a treasure trove of priceless Ex BBC analogue equipment, specialist stylii, and the latest high end digital. The engineer (Pete) has restored part of Decca' s legendary Classical series and the archives of Wishbone Ash and John Mayall, his work is unparalleled.

Graphic Design by Seelie Court and Bobby Blisters of legendary Post Punk Neo Mod band The Blisters.

Label policy when mastering from vinyl is that a residue of surface noise is preferable to compressing the bejeezus out of the music Many old reissues have destroyed the high frequencies in pursuit of 'silent running' using Cedar declicking programmes etc.

Recordings are issued with band members participation and final approval under contract.

The label has decided to issue a few recordings it considers important where the bands are untraceable or possibly deceased, these lps are in the MMIA SERIES ("musicians missing in action") and are issued with full transparency. It may be the only way to get any surviving members to come out of the woodwork.

Sub Label due in Jan 2021 releasing archival New Wave, Punk and Post Punk albums.

The label does not use Shrinkwrap due to its Environmental policy. Shrinkwrap is an unnecessary pollutant and can also damage lps by shrinking and causing warps, or by being applied before lps have cooled also causing warps.
