WINDY CORNER 'The House At Windy Corner' LP (Spain, Sommor Records, Catalogue #SOMM017) Brand new/unplayed copy of limited year 2014 Sommor Records edition of ULTRA-RARE 1973 Psychedelic Folk Rock LP by Dutch band Windy Corner.

(NOTE: LIMITED VINYL EDITION!)

Formed in Amsterdam in the late '60s, Windy Corner were a psychedelic folk-rock band who rarely played live. Using self-made instruments and amplifiers, they recorded long sessions at their rehearsal space in a cottage. In 1973, they released their first album, The House at Windy Corner, a 100 copies custom pressing on the collectable Deroy label. Underground progressive/psychedelic folk-rock with a charming home-made sound and fragile atmosphere. Dreamy vocals, organ, acoustic/electric guitars, bass and drums, similar at times to other obscure lo-fi psych bands like A-Austr or Ithaca. First-ever reissue. Remastered sound, original artwork, insert with liner notes and rare photos. Rated with the maximum rarity on the 2001 Record Collector Dreams book by Hans Pokora.

"Something of an enigma in the collector's circles, this quartet had 100 copies of The House At Windy Corner printed on the British Deroy label (known for releases by Complex.) Their ambitious and intricate long instrumental passages remind me of the British underground group Sindelfingen (their Triangle) and the more understated and meditative improvisations of the San Francisco bands Mad River (first album) and Grateful Dead (1968-1970.) Windy Corner's home recordings were generally strange and highly rewarding for those seriously into the "more intellectual" underground sound." - Dag Erik Asbjornsen/Scented Gardens Of The Mind.
