LEGENDARY UNDERGROUND ACID BLUES PSYCH
rare early '70s German micro-pressing
THE SHIVER
"Walpurgis"
Germany - MARIS MUSIK - 20501
minty clean...all over....
Certainly a VERY rare issue ... wasn't sure about the pressing - never had seen this release before. Was advised by one wizard of record knowledge that it is in fact a little seen German second pressing released in the early '70s to presumably tie-in with the mushrooming "Krautrock" scene ...
The first issue was issued in 1969, impossibly rare and commands a fortune selling for upwards of $2000. This is a gatefold cover like the first issue but the cover design is in black and white, not grey and white like the first press. Still, advised this was 40 or more years old and until unearthed recently was unknown to have existed.
Man, what the hell is that cover?
Famous underground artist/designer H. R. Giger delivering some of his best artwork for this 1969 Swiss psychedelic blues rock album by the The Shiver. A powerful and still widely unknown giant in the prog/psych/blues treasure...tops in the psychedelic music world by those who know, fetching quickly somewhere between $500 - $1000 and more...
The Shiver was a Swiss psychedelic outfit back in 69' when trippy swirls and organs ruled the music scene. However, unlike most bands who made their songs to speak of incense and peppermints, this display of raw guitar, vocals, and a very eerie church organ sound echoing in the album makes this piece of music one that would remind a drug meddler an experience similar to a bad trip. An eerie, huge, expansive bad trip that is very enjoyable...if one could enjoy bad trips.The album immediately begins with a seven minute powerhouse cover of Procol Harum's instrumental masterpiece "Repent Walpurgis", which would be the influence on the title. It is the perfect song to set the stage of the gloomy, moody, haunting bluesy nightmare you will enter for the next half hour.
After a couple of great, unique takes on "Leave This Man Alone" and "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", they show their very own efforts with their single "Hey, Mr. Holy Man". Slow, haunting, and honestly one of their more political songs. The song is lead with the familiar tune of "Dies Irae" but with their own lyrics and sound added to the mix.
The final two songs of the album "No Time" and "The Peddle" close off the album with a more noticeable blues sound leading the psychedelic overtones.
With the help of H.R Geiger's first album cover submission (fun fact), the album definitely has its very own unique, foreboding and worthwhile identity which makes it really disappointing to note that not enough know of its existence. Do yourself a favor if you are fond of psychedelic, prog, the blues, or eerie imagery to check this one out. You wont be disappointed.
