Hold on to your mind! Led by Belfastborn phenom David Lewis, Andwella made three LPs circa 1970 for London’s Reflection label, redolent with Cream-y rock workouts, soaring post-Sgt. Pepper psych experimentation, and earthbound laments The Band might’ve dreamt up at Big Pink. Barely heard back then, they now conjure a popular rock fantasia to challenge the most expertly composed and orchestrated songs of the era. This deluxe set includes meticulous reproductions of the band’s 3-LP discography, plus an ephemera-packed booklet detailing Lewis’s brief moment as a downbeat songwriting visionary at the height of his powers.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: A gorgeous, and surprisingly reasonably priced, exhaustive selection of Andwella / Andwella's Dream's releases. Featuring folk-tinged psychedelic riffs and lysergic twists of guitar and vocals, some of these could just as easily have sat among Floyd's early work just as easily as they could Cream or Crosby Stills & Nash. Ace.
