Description
Shiver - Walpurgis LP (Picture Disc). Official reissue of the only album the Swiss underground cult legends Shiver ever released (originally released in 1969 on the Maris label); a heavy album, covering a variety of crude and sloppy psychedelic styles, and one of the rarest in the world, thanks very much in part to its sinister and sexually explicit H. R Giger cover. The opening instrumental ‘Repent Walpurgis’ has touches of early Procol Harum or even Ekseption. The sound is very bluesy highlighting both Hammond organ and distorted guitar. Longer progressive tracks alternate with shorter, more accessible pieces; ‘Hey Mr. Holy Man’ is a ballad backed by Hammond organ and choir whilst someone narrates on top of it. Limited to 1000 hand-numbered copies. Includes an 8-page insert. (m/m)
