GALAHAD – “SLEEPERS” 2LP / 2 x vinyl

Reedycja 3ciego albumu Galahad wydanego w 1995 roku. Zremasterowany przez Karla Groom’a w 2015 z bonusem z 2015 roku, plus Suffering In Slilence z pierwotnej wersji japońskiej płyty, na wersji winlowej dodatkowo alternatywna wersja Pictures Of Bliss i wersja Exorcising Demons z 2015 roku. Wydany pierwszy raz na winylu. Przez wielu fanów uważany za najlepszy album progresywnej legendy.

Sleepers, probably the best Galahad album from ’90s for the first time on vinyl. Release contains 3 bonus tracks. Limited edition of 150 black vinyl, and 350 of white vinyl from the first press.

One of the major names amongst the British Neo-Prog scene for years. Their music blends melodic moods and with heavier parts and the strong vocals are a trademark over an orchestrated instrumental. The medieval themes are constant on their lyrics. They have evolved to something quite a healthy new view on progressive rock. Fans of IQ, PALLAS and MARILLION should enjoy their music a lot.

First time on vinyl.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Studio Album, released in 1995/2020
