Description

Discogs says this is the Italian label although they list it as 1971 when infact the label says 1970.  This is a pristine Radio Luxembourg library copy. The poster has never been out of the sleeve. The reason this looks mint is because the only time it was opened was when the librarian put the stickers on. Luxembourg wasn't playing prog rock until Jensen's Dimensions began.  The library contained double copies and most DJs were sent their own copies by the record companies (especially Kid Jensen).  So this copy escaped the jocks. I somehow doubt this was an Italian copy and that the UK or Irish label pressed it?  Anyway, meet Andwella who were abbreviated from Andwella's Dream, a great Irish export.
WIKIPEDIA.

Andwella were a Northern Irish psychedelic rock band formed in 1968, originally as The Method and later renamed Andwellas Dream. The trio were fronted by Dave Lewis(Guitar/keyboard/vocals), with Nigel Smith (bass/vocals) and Gordon Barton (drums).[1]

Their first album, as Andwellas Dream, Love and Poetry, was recorded in London in 1968, and featured jazz musician Bob Downes on saxophone and flute,[1] and Wilgar Campbell on drums on the track "Felix".[2]:44 However, the album failed to sell, and Lewis then recorded a solo album, privately pressed, on the Ax label in 1970; which included new versions of some of the Andwella's Dream songs.[1] Then in 1970 David Lewis wrote the music for and produced poet David Baxter's "Goodbye Dave" album, for which he was backed by Andwella.

With the addition of Dave McDougall on guitar and vocals, the band was renamed Andwella. This line-up issued World's End, before Dave Struthers replaced Nigel Smith on bass and Jack McCullock joined as drummer.[1] This lineup recorded the bands' last album, People's People, in 1971, after which the band broke up in 1972.

Lewis later went on to write "Happy to Be on an Island in the Sun", recorded in the 1970s by Demis Roussos.
