Spirit - Spirit Spirit

Under guidance of Randy California (a moniker which was given to him by the one and only Jimi Hendrix himself with whom Randy used to jam with in his pre-Experience group The Blue Flames…) Spirit was a freeform musical oddity that enjoyed huge success in the hippie Sixties and beyond. Combining jazz, rock, prog, folk and Indian influences, Spirit were unarguably the most interesting band under the Californian sun.

Spirit’s eponymous debut album shows their versatility, proving to be a blueprint for subsequent releases such as The Family That Plays Together [MOVLP556] and Twelve Dreams Of Dr. Sardonicus [MOVLP555]. With fuzz guitar leads, sitars, clavinets, intricate string arrangements, blaring horn sections and excellent songwriting, Spirit (1968) has it all.

Spirit is available on black vinyl.
