Ton Vlasman recorded this amazing piece of acid euro folk back in 1970,
making it sound like an outter space freaked out Bob Dylan with the help
of Frans Schoonen (organ, flute and harmonica) and Leo van Vugt (chincha
tumba and tambourine). The seven original compositions are stunning, drug
inspired psychedelic pieces of acid folk that mix Dylan with Indian ragas
and even add some Pink Floyd overtones, yet from an acoustic rather than
electric point of view. And the album contains also a very cool version of
The Velvet Underground's "Pale Blue Eyes". If you evered wondered how would
Dylan have sounded covering The V.U., here's a close example! The album,
originally released on the small Flame label from Amsterdam, sold poorly
back in the seventies - thus becoming a collector's piece when it was rediscovered
in the eighties. Since then it has been gathering new fans that pay small
fortunes for a copy, no reissue has been available until now that Wah Wah
offers 500 copies in a lavish edition that will probably sell out soon, so
grab your copy before it's too late! The beautiful cover art and full color poster insert with the lyrics are the work of Leendert Le Duc, and both are here faithfully reproduced as they deserve. The Wah Wah reissue also features an extra insert with a text by reputed dutch collector Jean Jöbses and a couple of rare unseen period photos courtesi of the Frans Schoonen and Leo van Vugt archives. The album has been carefully remastered by sound wizard Denis Blackham @ Skye Mastering, making these songs sound like never before. REMEMBER, 500 COPIES ONLY - DON'T MISS IT! Ton Vlasman grabó esta impresionante pieza de euro folk ácido en 1970, sonando como un Bob Dylan en ácido llegado del espacio exterior con la ayuda de Frans Schoonen (órgano, flauta y harmonica) y Leo van Vugt (chincha tumba y pandereta). Las siete composiciones originales del álbum, temazos de acid folk psicodélico de fuerte inspiración psicotrópica, mezclan Dylan con ragas indias e incluso con unas gotas de Pink Floy, aunque sonando más acústico. Incluye también una gran versión del "Pale Blue Eyes" de la Velvet Underground. Si alguna vez te has preguntado cómo sonaría Dylan versioneando a la Velvet aquí tienes lo más cercano a un ejemplo de ello que encontrarás. Originalmente editado en el pequeño sello independiente Flame, de Amsterdam, el LP apenas vendió copias en los 70, convirtiéndose por ello en una cotizada pieza entre coleccionistas cuando fue redescubierto ya entrados los ochenta. Desde entonce ha ido creciendo el número de conversos que ofrecen pequeñas fortunas por copias originales del disco. Nunca hasta ahora reeditado, tenemos ahora la oportunidad de hacernos con una de las 500 copias prensadas por Wah Wah. La preciosa portada y el bonito inserto/poster con las letras fueron obra de Leendert Le Duc y se reproducen fielmente en la edición de Wah Wah, que además incluye un segundo inserto extra con textos del reputado coleccionista holandés Jean Jöbses y un par de raras fotografías de la época procedentes de los archivos personales de Frans Schoonen y Leo van Vugt. Ha sido cuidadosamente remasterizado por el mago del sonido Denis Blackham en Skye Mastering, suena como nunca antes. ¡RECORDAD : SÓLO 500 COPIAS, NO LO DEJÉIS ESCAPAR!

Wah Wah is proud to offer the two LPs by Baltimore's high energy hard rock
pride Orange Wedge. Having become one of the most successful live acts in
Maryland, Orange Wedge nevertheless didn't get to sign a contract with a proper
label, so in 1974 they decided it was time to invest some of their money
into the self-production of their first LP. Wedge, the resulting work, shows
a highly energetic band performing their own original compositions direct
to your ears. Housed in a plain blue sleeve with the title stamped on front,
500 copies were pressed, some to be sent to record companies with the hope
of getting a proper contract and others to be sold at gigs and a few of them
at local Maryland shops. Needles to say they quickly deleted and the record
is nowadays a much sought after treasure among collectors of the hard rock
genre. Here at Wah Wah we have respectfully worked on its reissue to offer you a killer release in thick cardboard paste-up sleeve with silver lettering stamping, and featuring an insert with the story of the band and lots of cool photos gently provided by original Orange Wedge guitarist and composer Joe Farace. This is a limited reissue of only 500 copies, so hurry to get yours before they just dissapear from sight as it happened with the original pressing! Wah Wah se enorgullece de ofrecer los dos LPs del grupo de high energy hard rock de Baltimore Orange Wedge. A pesar de ser la banda con el directo más contundente y popular de Naryland, Orange Wedge nunca consiguieron un contrato discográfico en condiciones. Así, en 1974, los miembros del grupo decidieron invertir su dinero en la auto-producción de su primer LP. Wegde, la obra resultante, les muestra como una banda tremendamente energética interpretando sus propias composiciones directamente en tu oído. Editado en una sencilla portada azul con el título estampado en blanco, se hicieron 500 copias. Algunas de ellas se mandaron a sellos discográficas con la esperanza de obtener un contrato de edición, otras se vendieron en los conciertos y unas pocas en tiendas locales de Maryland. No es necesario decir que se vendieron enseguida y desde entonces el disco se ha convertido en uno de los más codiciados tesoros entre coleccionistas del género hard rock. En Wah Wah hemos trabajado respetuosamente en su reedición para ofreceros una fantastica edición con portada en cartón grueso y forrada estilo americano, con las letras estampadas en plata, e incluyendo un inserto con la historia de la banda y un montón de fotografías de la época amablemente proporcionadas por Joe Farace, guitarrista y compositor original de Orange Wedge. ¡Es una edición limitada a 500 copias, házte rápido con tu copia antes de que desaparezca como ocurrió con la edición orignal!

The 1976 follow up to Wedge was "No One Left But Me". Due to the lack of
offers the Orange Wedge also relased their second LP as a private pressing
that was to be sold at gigs and local shops, and it sold like hot bread making
this one an elusive piece among hard rock collectors. Their sound here is
still 100% high energy, though an evolution has been made and the band sounds
a bit more sophisticated. It was their best selling album at the time with
a pressing of 1000 copies that hardly made it out of Baltimore, so here's
a very good chance to rediscover this amazing piece of pure rock power. Here at Wah Wah we have respectfully worked on its reissue to offer you a killer release in thick cardboard paste-up sleeve, and featuring an insert with the story of the band and lots of cool photos gently provided by original Orange Wedge guitarist and composer Joe Farace. This is a limited reissue of only 500 copies, so hurry to get yours before they just dissapear from sight as it happened with the original pressing! El segundo LP de Orange Wedge apareció originalmente en 1976. Debido a la falta de ofertas de sellos discográficos el grupo, de nuevo, se autoeditó el disco en un prensaje privado que se ha convertido en una esquiva pieza para los coleccionistas de hard rock. Su sonido sigue siendo 100% poderío, pero con una leve evolución con pasajes algo más sofisticados. Fue su disco de mayor éxito, vendiéndose 1000 copias en conciertos y tiendas locales en Maryland. Ésta es una muy buena ocasión de hacerse con él a precio razonable. En Wah Wah hemos trabajado respetuosamente en su reedición para ofreceros una fantastica edición con portada en cartón grueso y forrada estilo americano, e incluyendo un inserto con la historia de la banda y un montón de fotografías de la época amablemente proporcionadas por Joe Farace, guitarrista y compositor original de Orange Wedge. ¡Es una edición limitada a 500 copias, házte rápido con tu copia antes de que desaparezca como ocurrió con la edición orignal!

After our latest string of releases centered around the diverse german 70's
scene, we’re happy to introduce the next installment in the Wah Wah LPS reissue
series. This time we move over to France to re-discover the beginnings of
one of the most adventurous, influential and innovative french bands of the
seventies: Heldon. Centered around guitarist Richard Pinhas and featuring a floating cast of regular collaborators (Didier Batard, François Auger, Patrick Gauthier, Alain Renaud, Georges Grunblatt; Coco Roussel amongst others), Heldon will marry Pinhas personal obsessions -modern philosophy (Deleuze, Guattari), science-fiction (Norman Spinrad, Philip K.Dick), progressive rock (King Crimson, Fripp & Eno), american minimalism (Terry Riley, Steve Reich) and electronic music- into a diverse musical cocktail that goes from the violent to the relaxed, but always retaining a dark and mysterious vibe. Often linked by critics and listeners to the experimental german bands of the era (Tangerine Dream, Ash Ra Tempel..), Heldon will release six crucial albums before being closed down by Pinhas in the late 70’s. Since then, Pinhas has developed long solo career that lives up to this day, releasing several albums and collaborations (Pascal Comelade, John Livengood, Maurice Dantec) the most recent being with japanese noise king Merzbow. HELDON – ELECTRONIC GUERRILLA Dedicated to Robert Wyatt, Heldon’s debut contained a puzzling collection of tracks that serve as a perfect introduction to Pinhas’ universe: science-fiction, philosophy and musical experimentation collide in a harsh lo-fi tapestry of sounds dominated by Pinhas’ 1954 Gibson Les Paul guitar and AKS synth. Not unlike some contemporany german bands, Heldon manages to take rock n’ roll’s language to a new experimental stage. Convulse and evocative soundscapes recommended to all lovers of innovative and ground-breaking music… Strictly limited to 500 copies. - High quality sleeves reproducing the original artwork from 1974’s first press on Disjuncta. - Includes insert with extra liner notes by spanish journalist and longt-time Heldon fan Paco Peiró – Bonus 7" EP with tracks taken from Heldon’s predecessor band Schizo two EP’s . Tracklist: 1/ Zind (2: 18) 2/ Back to Heldon (8: 31) 3/ Northernland Lady (6:57) 4/ Ouais Marchais mieux qu'en 68 (Le voyageur) (4: 22) 5/ Circulus Vitiosus (8: 43) 6/ Ballade pour Puig Antich (révolutionnaire assassiné en Espagne) (2: 19) Personnel: Richard Pinhas (AKS synth, 1957 Gibson Les Paul guitar) plus Alain Renaud ( guitar on 3), George Grunblatt (VCS3 synth on 4), Patrick Gauthier (piano and VCS3 synth on 4), Coco Roussel (drums on 4), Pierrot Roussel (guitar bass on 4) and Gilles Deleuze (voice on 4) ARTIST : HELDON TITLE : ÉLECTRONIQUE GUERILLA LABEL : WAH WAH RECORDS SUPERSONIC SOUNDS CATALOGUE NUMBER : LPS068 FORMAT : LP + BONUS EP 7" RETAIL PRICE : 21.00 EUROS |

HELDON – ALLEZ TEIA Originally released in 1975, the follow-up to Electronic Guerrilla was a more subdued and relaxed affair with emphasis on Richard Pinhas guitar and good use of mellotron. Hints of early King Crimson and the Fripp-Eno lp’s are again evident in a record that stands-out as one of the more mysterious and intriguing of the whole Heldon discography. A puzzling hypnotic tapestry of sounds by one of the most essential bands of 70's experimental music. Strictly limited to 500 copies. - High quality gatefold sleeve reproducing the original artwork from 1975’s first press on Disjuncta. - Includes insert with extra liner notes by spanish journalist and longt-time Heldon fan Paco Peiró – Bonus 7" EP with non-album tracks taken from Heldon’s singles of the era. Tracklist: 1/ In the wake of King Fripp (6: 36) 2/ Aphanisis (2: 20) 3/ Omar Diop Blondin (7: 20) 4/ Moebius (1: 49) 5/ Fluence: Continuum Mobile / Disjonction inclusive (12: 15) 6/ St Mikael Samstag am abends (6: 18) 7/ Michel Ettori (4: 17) Personnel: Richard Pinhas (VCS3 synth, guitars, A.R.P., tapes), George Grunblatt (mellotron, guitars, A.R.P.) plus Alain Renaud (guitar on 2) and Alain Bellaiche (bass on 3).
